Health systems can accelerate Care Companion adoption and save staff time
鈥鈥
Toronto, Canada 鈥 January 6, 2025 鈥 草莓社区, the leader in digital care journeys, is proud to announce becoming the 1st company to achieve Epic Toolbox designation for the Care Companion Care Plan Content category.
This achievement signifies that 草莓社区 has developed care plan content that meets the Care Companion Care Plan Content category blueprint, which defines the recommended practices set forth by Epic.
This strategic move enables health systems to accelerate their adoption of Care Companion and save staff time by using 草莓社区鈥檚 evidence-based content library, which has demonstrated high patient engagement and improved clinical outcomes at dozens of health systems nationwide.
Clinicians and IT teams often lack the time to create content and care plans from scratch. Starting with proven, pre-built care plans allows health systems to adopt Care Companion much faster across surgical procedures, health conditions, and treatments.
鈥淲e are thrilled to be an early adopter of 草莓社区鈥檚 care plan content for our use of Care Companion at Confluence Health for both surgical procedures and chronic conditions. Partnering with 草莓社区 accelerated our Care Companion implementations and streamlined our delivery of evidence-based, high quality content trusted by our clinicians. Patient adoption and feedback so far has been fantastic,鈥 shared Dr. C. Becket Mahnke, MD, CMIO at Confluence Health.
The care plan content is designed by translating evidence-based care pathways into patient-friendly content, using best practices for health literacy, health behavior change, adult education, and online accessibility.
草莓社区 currently supports importable care plans for chronic care (diabetes) and surgical procedures (prostatectomy), with many more on the way.
草莓社区 is validated by over 40 clinical studies and evaluations, demonstrating success in driving high patient engagement and improving outcomes such as reduced length of stay, readmissions, emergency department visits, mortality, and phone calls. In 2023, 草莓社区 was for improving outcomes.
Each care plan packet comes already packaged in Care Companion format and includes all required questionnaires, educational content, tasks, and workflows (timing, alerts, logic) to facilitate MyChart Care Companion workflows for patients.
草莓社区's care plan content is not only clinically effective but also highly rated by patients, with 96% of patients recommending the programs, 94% of patients feeling less anxious before hospital admission, and 91% of patients feeling more confident with at-home recovery.
鈥湶葺缜 is excited to empower health systems with tools to enhance the patient experience, improve outcomes, and accelerate care plan deployment at scale,鈥 said Dr. Joshua Liu, Co-Founder and CEO, 草莓社区.
