Managing patients in SNFs can be time-consuming for physicians, especially for those associated with ACOs. Reduced presence of physicians due to COVID restrictions and inefficient care transfer make the continuum of care challenging for patients in SNFs. According to a study, 1 out of 4 patients is readmitted within a month after getting discharged from a SNF. Many of these readmissions are considered to be avoidable, and data from ‘Center for Health Information and Analysis’ show that potentially avoidable readmissions cost about 17 billion dollars. To solve this problem, many ACOs started to use virtual care and remote monitoring technologies.

BlueJay Mobile Health identifies the significance of remote patient care at SNFs. More physicians in ACOs are using BlueJay’s platform to virtually treat and monitor their patients to reduce readmission and lower utilization of post-acute care. Through BlueJayEngage, providers schedule video calls with nurses in SNFs who are responsible for conducting virtual sessions between physicians and providers. This type of “virtual round” by ACO physicians provides efficient care supervision and team-based care to improve patient outcomes. BlueJay is now serving over 1,000 SNF locations in the U.S.

BlueJay strives to save time for physicians to manage patients in multiple SNFs. Our digital solutions enable ACOs to improve patient outcomes and satisfaction while saving costs for the organizations.
