Geisinger Redesigning Chronic Care Management Approach

In an interview with Healthcare Innovation, Karen Murphy, R.N., Ph.D., Geisinger’s chief innovation officer, described its partnership with digital health startup Noteworth on a new care delivery model for patients with chronic diseases like diabetes, heart failure and hypertension.

“The vision that we're trying to create here is that we're redesigning our chronic disease management,” Murphy said. “We're leveraging remote patient monitoring and patient-reported outcomes, and we’re leveraging the platform to really stay in touch with our patients. Rather than episodic care, Geisinger will use technology to engage patients in a much different way.
