121G Consulting proudly announces the release of its AI-based patient encounter care training and quality assurance platform, called HealthCoach, which aids care management organizations to increase patient engagement, enhance level of care and ensure compliance with quality standards.
For groups providing telehealth services to patients with chronic conditions, HealthCoach supports two critical applications. First, through AI-enabled simulated patient encounters, including voice interaction, HealthCoach trains caregivers to follow prescribed care protocols while calibrating their style of care for individual patient personalities and challenges. HealthCoach’s simulated patient panel includes patients with many different medical conditions, personalities and challenges with which caregivers virtually interact, practice their care protocols and hone their interpersonal skills. Upon completion of each simulated patient encounter, HealthCoach scores the encounter against prescribed metrics and provides improvement guidance directly to the training caregiver.
Secondarily, HealthCoach “listens” to quality control recordings of actual patient encounters and scores each encounter as measured against medically mandated quality metrics. Caregiver quality scores are then captured and aggregated for individual and group care compliance reporting.
“We provide telehealth-based chronic care management services to over 16,000 patients and growing. So, our ability to scale our caregiver operations depends greatly on the efficiency and pace in which we train and ramp caregivers into our care model. HealthCoach has been a great training tool for us,” commented A.R. Weiler, CEO of Wellbox. “Our caregivers practice their encounter process and style with a varied set of HealthCoach patient simulations, which prepares them for live encounters.”
“It’s exciting to see HealthCoach and AI enable such a personalized approach to training caregivers and monitoring care quality,” said Johnathan Samples, Partner of 121G Consulting. “This launch underscores our mission to apply AI technologies towards discovered improvements and efficiencies within the healthcare market.”
Through HealthCoach, healthcare organizations can effectively train and scale caregiver groups to provide protocol focused chronic care management services. Additionally, HealthCoach allows these organizations to monitor and report on the quality level of all of its virtual patient encounters as required by medically mandated regulations.
