PHILADELPHIA–(BUSINESS WIRE)–With the release of its new white paper, authors at Turn-Key Health (Turn-Key) document the value of specialized palliative care to effectively manage serious or advanced illness populations, providing health systems, at-risk provider groups and other organizations with a playbook for optimizing these services to improve quality and decrease expense.

Learn more about the benefits of a population health approach to community-based palliative care: earlier identification and engagement through predictive analytics/AI; structured, consistent, effective engagement with members and caregivers; streamlined care coordination, communication and reporting of patient progress to treating physicians and the medical home; programmatic accountability and scalability for larger populations across broad diverse geographic regions.
“In this white paper, our team illustrates the current and historical challenges associated with managing advanced illness, and skillfully synthesizes the opportunity to push beyond the traditional confines of referral-based palliative care to a structured population health approach that truly enables a palliative medical home model,” says Greer Myers, president, Turn-Key, serving health plans, provider organizations and their members who experience a serious or advanced illness. “With a vast, proprietary network of palliative care professionals to provide supportive home-based assessments and interventions, our Palliative Illness Management model is designed to communicate relevant information to the primary treating physician / medical home and foster better communication, ensuring that care delivery is aligned with patient goals.”
