Lowering lifetime cost of care for hypertensive patients using Digital Care
Patients who struggle with hypertension typically have other co-morbidities such as chronic kidney disease or heart failure. Duke identified an opportunity to educate their patients who suffer from hypertension to provide additional education to improve their patient satisfaction and engagement with their diagnosis.
Xealth sends patients who have an ICD 10 code of hypertension a bundle of videos, once per year, that includes information such as diet changes, effects of high blood pressure, and ways to manage their blood pressure. This video is sent to patients seven days prior to their primary care visit to facilitate conversations.
More than 135,000 patients have received this video bundle and over 80% of patients who engaged with this content watched 75–100% of the videos.
