Commonwealth Primary Care ACO and VieMed Healthcare (VMD) announce an innovative chronic respiratory care and sleep management alliance.
Commonwealth’s clients will have access to VieMed’s clinically proven Non-Invasive Ventilation at home (NIVH).
VieMed recently announced the results of an NIH study led by Dr. William Frazier, VieMed’s Chief Medical Officer. The study evaluated clinical outcomes in COPD patients with chronic respiratory failure (COPD-CRF) treated with NIVH compared to similar patients with COPD-CRF who did not receive NIVH.
Highlights
- The group treated with NIVH had a 50% decrease in all-cause mortality during the study period
- The group treated with NIVH had a 28% decline in the risk of hospitalizations
- The group treated with NIVH had a 52% reduction in the risk of an emergency room visit
Services available to Commonwealth patients will now include:
- 24/7 on-call support from COPD-certified Respiratory Therapists
- Remote Physiological Monitoring and Patient Engagement technologies
- In-home, personalized assessments, equipment setups, care plans, and education
- Integrated Chronic Care Management
- Transitional care and compliance programs to optimize adherence and reduce readmissions
Commonwealth’s physicians and patients will also benefit from sleep testing administered in the patient’s home offered through Home Sleep Delivered (“HSD”), a VieMed subsidiary.
“Commonwealth’s alliance with VieMed creates an outstanding opportunity for us to bring exceptional independent physician care to their respiratory patients. VieMed is driving change in our organization with proven results and I’m excited to see the difference they can make with our patients in Arizona,” said Lance Donkerbrook, CEO of Commonwealth.
VieMed’s CEO, Casey Hoyt, believes the alliance between VieMed and Commonwealth can have a real impact in Arizona, “Commonwealth ACO has done a tremendous job providing their member physicians the proper balance between quality healthcare and cost. I’m excited to see the value VieMed can add to their network and the impact our proven care-continuum can have on their patients.”
