For Payers and Administrators

Though solid organ transplants and VAD implantations are necessary, lifesaving procedures, they are also costly and resource-intensive. Recent studies have shown that readmissions related to abdominal transplants can be as high as 48%, and the per-patient costs associated with readmission range from $11k to $44k. Meanwhile, more than 70% of VAD patients are rehospitalized within one year of implant – often multiple times – at an average cost of $25K per patient. The ActiCare Health monitoring programs are designed to reduce readmission rates, hospital days, and post-surgical lengths of stay through 24/7 in-home surveillance, robust patient education, and frequent interactions with patients and their care providers.
