Telemedicine Centers of Ohio

Now Integrating Technology For Transforming Ohio’s Capability To Expand Access To Innovative, Timely And Affordable Local Health Care Delivery Services Between Patient and Health Providers.

Your Provider CAN Really See You NOW!

Governor Kasich said in a statement. “I look forward to continuing our partnership with the General Assembly to build upon the progress we’ve already made to make Medicaid work better for Ohioans.” Ohio Governor, John Kasich

Thanks to our governor’s vision:

Ohio Gov. John Kasich took a bold step into the future last year for transforming health care delivery and reducing costs in Ohio through expanding Medicaid coverage and by urging cooperation and support of initiatives that can produce the long-term reforms called for in the Affordable Care Act.

We are pleased to deliver this presentation introducing an innovative local resource surely absent in Ohio. This is a business model flowing from the very words written in the health reform legislation; and answers the call of our Governor for the creation within his Office of Health Transformation the efforts of private and public institutions to work together in improving the health and welfare of Ohio citizens.

The idea of a Telemedicine Centers of Ohio that can work in tandem with Ohio Medicaid MCO subscribers and providers is fully responsive to Ohio’s State Planning Grant and the requirements in the Ohio Medicaid Integration Program awarded contracts starting in 2015.

Before we began this journey, we met with some of Ohio’s Medicaid contractors, and share their aspirations when assessing the impact of the ACA provisions and opportunities beginning January 2014. Notably, one Medicaid contractor leader responding to the Governor’s initiatives said: “we’re looking at improving clinical outcomes, and doing it in a more efficient and more effective way, so we can also produce some sort of reasonable savings”.

Getting and using more technology to accomplish those herculean tasks, without massive upfront capital investments, is made attractive by creating partnering arrangements that offer mutual benefits and can share mutual comparative market advantages. The private entrepreneurial sector offers access to technical innovations and capital that can support rapid adoption, remove capital and manpower risks, and offer expertise that often is not available or affordable in every community in Ohio.

When you look at the advantages for the Medicaid beneficiary to not have to travel sick to see a provider away from the home base, or wait maybe for an distant area provider to visit to see everybody scheduled; effectiveness and efficiency have cost consequences and begs for innovation

The challenge for Ohio’s Medicaid contract payors lay in seizing opportunities to alter its business model anchored in the status quo, and also to be bold enough to embrace disruptive innovations that introduce lasting continuous change and substantial cost savings. Just as the urgent care facilities in drug stores have shown us, and even some Internet webcam providers confirm; insured and non insured alike want local neighborhood health care options, and will go where they believe its available, convenient and affordable.

We now know the State of Ohio can substantially reduce its annual costs of care by using technology that affordably expands access to health care and eliminates the burdens for both patients and providers travel expenses. In fact, substantial savings results were all of Ohio’s selected Medicaid Integration awardee contractors and their providers encourage use of telemedicine visits that support follow up of its insured’s suffering with chronic conditions, support post hospital discharge, improve care of residents in nursing homes to reduce costly avoidable readmissions, and address the timely care for those living in home and community settings, many requiring frequent and high touch care and monitoring.

Using creative bold innovations in remote monitoring fused with initiatives supporting Ohio’s need to support dual eligibles with chronic medical conditions who desire to reside in affordable housing rather than by default in scarce and expensive institutional settings is a highly desirable pursuit. Not only does this use of technology drive coordination and care management, it keeps the patient provider relationship primary and intact, and it also helps drive down the health payer's cost for unnecessary hospitalizations and avoidable ER visits.

As seriously presented herein, Ohio’s Medicaid Providers now have some innovative options that offers comparative competitive advantages in the marketplace, and uniquely opens the door for successive innovations built around telemedicine technology and the shift in how the health care sector of the GDP re-engineers itself in fully implementing Patient-Centered Medical Homes (PCMHs) and use of Accountable Care Organizations (ACOs) as tools enabling the ACA mandates in the next few years..

Thank you for encouraging our implementation.

Our network solution offers multi screen and provider video connection on a secured private network where tablets, secure phones, iPads and laptops can be a lifesaver.

Telemedicine Centers of Ohio Support Medical Care Access to SNFs, ASL, Pre-Schools, Home and Community Settings

Medical devices and technology have made it possible for the health care Providers to make rounds in SNFs, homes, schools, community centers, day care and adult day health centers, thereby supporting Ohio’s fragile populations of dual eligibles, and special needs normally not timely served—and the most costly to manage.

Lab testing, dental and vision screening and pharmacy consult access is also available.

PCMH and ACO Implementation Lower Cost and Expand Access

This Ohio based PCP started using his telemedicine technology to save on intra state travel time, and now has more time for patient care.
