Vela replaces outdated and fragmented care coordination methods with a single, centralized, HIPAA-secure communication platform for enhanced collaboration, increased efficiency, and improved outcomes.
Care management has never been an easy task, and it’s only getting more complex. Care coordination can be inefficient and disconnected, increasing the likelihood of miscommunication among team members, and placing greater administrative burden on case managers.
With Vela, the interdisciplinary care team is connected via a single, HIPAA-secure platform, improving their ability to communicate efficiently. The result is high-quality, person-centered care planning and delivery powered by timely, efficient information exchanges that lead to improved outcomes.
Vela is designed to address the critical need for streamlined collaboration in interdisciplinary care coordination, and is built on two decades of experience supporting the entire care team, including case managers, care providers, family caregivers, and patients. Vela provides caregivers with education, support and case management services that they need to care for their loved one in the home.
Vela replaces a care team’s dependency on phone calls and voicemails with modern, HIPAA-secure messaging capabilities, increasing a case manager’s rate of reach from 20% to 90%. Case managers have the ability to message individuals, groups, or the entire team at once, alleviating the inefficiency of siloed communication.
Vela helps case managers deliver the best care possible, thanks to a text-based model that 80% of patients are likely to opt into. Actionable insights can be shared in real-time, creating more coaching opportunities for patients and caregivers. Vela provides education, based on the needs of the member or caregiver. Professional interventions happen sooner, missed appointments decrease, and outcomes improve.
Vela’s modern approach to care team collaboration leads to savings for health care organizations by helping case managers implement individualized, person-centered care plans and drive greater accountability among individual team members. Increased alerts, interventions, and real-time coaching opportunities lead to fewer patient emergency room visits and hospitalizations, as well as the potential for earlier discharges.
Vela drives efficiency by fostering communication and collaboration at every step of the care management process. By uniting the interdisciplinary care team on a single platform, Vela provides a wide range of individual and collective benefits.
Evelyn is responsible for creating administrative and clinical efficiencies and cost savings in the care management process, all while improving the quality outcomes and preserving a patient’s quality of life.
Vela’s care collaboration model reduces administrative burden and increases efficiency. With Vela, 98% of messages are opened and able to be revisited at any time. Conversely, only 15 - 20% rate of reach is achieved by phone, and only 20% of information shared is correctly remembered.
