Greater Patient Satisfaction Means Better Outcomes

A recent study of 15,710 individuals who received kidney transplants observed that patients who reported greater satisfaction with their care had significantly better graft and survival rates than patients who did not (1). Patient satisfaction is the hallmark of the ActiCare Health monitoring experience. First and foremost, our high-touch service gives patients access to the information and care they need, when they need it. By monitoring their health in the comfort of their homes, we also help to reduce patient and caregiver time spent traveling to and from appointments. And, because our program is designed to improve safety, outcomes, and time spent in the hospital post-surgery, we offer an option that can significantly improve quality of life, giving transplant recipients an opportunity to live with greater freedom.
