Upward Health is an in-home, multidisciplinary medical group providing 24/7 whole-person care. Our clinical team treats physical, behavioral, and social health needs when and where a patient needs help.
Everyone on our team from our providers, nurses, and Care Specialists to our HR, Technology, and Business Services staff are driven by a desire to improve the lives of our patients.
We are able to treat a wide range of needs - everything from addressing poorly controlled blood sugar to combatting anxiety to accessing medically tailored meals - because we know that health requires care for the whole person.
The Care Specialist works in patient's homes and community 90% of the time and virtually the other 10% to deliver chronic care management to high complexity patients.
During initial outreach the Care Specialist informs patients about our services and helps them get enrolled.Reaching out via phone is our top strategy for outreach and it's important that the Care Specialist is comfortable and confident communicating by phone.
Field-based approaches are utilized as well, and the Care Specialist should be prepared to use whatever strategy is most effective.
Once the patient is enrolled, the Care Specialist will coordinate care from the patient's home or the community to support our integrated care delivery model, focused on the following goals:Promote timely access to appropriate care; increase utilization of preventative care; reduce emergency room utilization and hospital readmissions; create and promote adherence to a care plan developed in coordination with the patient, primary care provider, and family/caregiver(s); increase patient's ability for self-management and shared decision-making; provide medication reconciliation; connect patients to relevant community resources, with the goal of enhancing patient health and well-being, increasing patient satisfaction, and reducing health care costs
Conduct direct outreach to patients via phone, in-person, mailings, and other strategies including cold calling and unscheduled door knocks.
