Breaking news! We are excited to share that over the past three years with our partnered #GI practices we have seen significant declines in IBD-related hospitalizations and inpatient admissions. This achievement is a testament to our dedicated efforts and the effectiveness of our value-based arrangement where GI providers are receiving proactive insights into patient symptoms. Our evidence demonstrates that when GI providers partner with SonarMD together we can help achieve the #tripleaim of #healthcare.   Our retrospective studies positively impacted a substantial number of patients and includes a longitudinal dataset covering two years of outcomes – a unique and valuable perspective in our field. Join us at the #DDW2024 poster session today to learn more about our impactful results.   📖 Read more: https://lnkd.in/gH8kRNcy #HealthcareInnovation #IBD #ValueBasedCare #PatientOutcomes #HealthcareSavings #ClinicalResearch #chroniccare #complexcare #gastroenterology #vbc #patientcenteredcare

Thank you to Gastro Broadcast and Kevin Harlen for having Dr. Lawrence Kosinski on your podcast reflecting on our two studies presented at #DDW2024. You'll have to tune in to hear Dr. K share how much we generated in shared savings! Dr. K discusses what differentiates SonarMD: "One of the major differences we have is that we work as an extension of the practice. I'm a firm believer that we need to maintain the doctor patient relationship at all costs and do things to strengthen it rather than weaken it. I'm a big believer that we should work hand-in-hand with the practices. Secondly, we take full risk and share in the savings with the medical practice. We are diffrent from a lot of companies out there that are billing as providers and not taking full risk like we are. That's why these studies that we presented at DDW are so critical because they reflect 2-3 years of work. It's an enormous task to get an attributed population of patients, to engage a medical group, to get a health plan to agree to a value-based program, and then to go out there and ensure that model generates the savings you intended to. The process works - getting patients to a high-touch proactive model and driving them to their doctor earlier in their deterioration." #ibd #gastroenterology #valuebasedcare #vbc #crohnsdisease #ulcerativecolitis #sharedsavings #carecoordination #remotemonitoring

Navigating the dating scene can be challenging for anyone, but for those living with inflammatory bowel disease (#IBD), it comes with unique hurdles. We were recently inspired by an article that shared the personal journeys of individuals facing these challenges head-on [https://lnkd.in/ecemswy9] #IBD, which includes #ulcerativecolitis and #Crohn's disease, affects the digestive system and can bring unpredictable symptoms. It often shows up just as young adults are entering the dating scene, adding layers of complexity to personal relationships. From revealing your condition to a potential partner to managing symptoms during a date, this article offers valuable insights and practical advice for anyone in a similar situation. It's a powerful reminder that while #IBD can affect body image and self-esteem, it doesn't have to define your love life or who you are as a person. Key takeaways: ❤️ Be Honest and Open: Share your condition when you feel comfortable, but don’t wait too long. Honest communication builds trust and understanding. ❤️ Prepare Your Elevator Pitch: Have a short, clear explanation of your condition ready to ease the conversation. ❤️ Plan Ahead: Research venues for date nights to ensure there are suitable menu options and accessible restrooms. ❤️ Seek Support: Consult your healthcare team for advice on managing symptoms and navigating intimacy. If you're navigating dating with #IBD or know someone who is, give this article a read. Let's continue to support and empower each other in our journeys! #IBD #DatingWithIBD #UlcerativeColitis #CrohnsDisease #ChronicIllness #SonarMD

"Our savings was driven by declines in Emergency Department visits, inpatient stays, and abdominal surgeries. That's really key - the patients didn't need as many surgeries. When we look at biologic use, we have fewer patients on high dose biologics. We are getting those patients earlier and we may actually be altering the course of the biology of the disease by treating the patients earlier in their declines than would occur decline otherwise." - Dr. Lawrence Kosinski
