How Oak Street Health Engaged Post-Acute Providers To Improve Patient Outcomes and Experience

In this webinar you will learn about:

• Oak Street Health’s transitional care program and efforts to improve post-acute care outcomes
• Olio’s approach to facilitating bi-directional communication and collaborative discharge planning to seamlessly reconnect patients back to their primary care provide
• The role of social work to proactively resolve social barriers to discharge to reduce length of stay and readmission rate
• The importance of building strong, cross-continuum relationships with post-acute partners

Why it’s important

Post-acute care teams play a critical role in patient outcomes. Unfortunately, for care providers like Oak Street Health, the high volume of patients across post-acute care locations, including skilled nursing facilities and home health sites, combined with a vast partner network, presents a unique challenge in organizing, coordinating, and communicating across the continuum of care.

To deliver the best care outcomes for its patients and effectively support its network of care sites and partners, Oak Street Health, a network of value-based primary care centers for adults on Medicare, turned to Olio to solve this exact problem. Using Olio, Oak Street Health scaled engagement across 245 post-acute locations, reached a ratio of one Oak Street Health team member to every 99 post-acute users, and reduced readmissions for its patients.

Results Include:

• 4x engagement per week per patient
• 99:1 OSH to Post-Acute User Ratio
• <10% RTA from SNF
• 4 Day Decrease in SNF LOS
• 7x ROI
