Research Highlights

  • Of the 96% of older patients who used CallAssure, 35% were identified as potentially having a health problem.
  • When a nurse followed up on those patients, the contact proactively identified the 25% of patients who needed some kind of additional care within 48 hours of discharge from the hospital.
  • The other 75% of patients went on with their day and the nurses were able to focus their attention on patients who needed their care.
