How to Improve Care for Members with Medicare Who Need Long-term Services and Supports (LTSS)

A significant percentage of members with Medicare over age 65 will likely need some level of LTSS care at some point. This may include activities of daily living (ADL) and/or instrumental activities of daily living (IADL).

Given their reliance on external services and supports, the LTSS population is particularly vulnerable to environmental factors. Activities of daily living are made exponentially more challenging when patient limitations are further impaired by lack of access.

Using HELIOS for LTSS: A Real-World Example

See how HELIOS and HELIOSgo are used to help 86-year-old Juan through a coordinated care approach.

Meet Juan

Juan is an 86 year old male with diabetes and COPD. He uses a wheelchair and requires in-home assistance, but is able to continue living at home with his insurance-provided LTSS benefits. Though Juan’s needs are varied and complex, he is able to enjoy his independence with the right services and supports.

Juan's Care Team

Juan has a care team consisting of a care manager, a home health aide, a care manager, and a visiting nurse. Juan’s home health aide visits his home to assist him with medications and activities of daily living, including bathing and grooming.

HELIOS enables Juan’s entire care team to gain insight and transparency into the full spectrum of his complex care needs.

Real-time Information

Through HELIOS, the care manager remains connected and informed on Juan’s condition. In his last visit, the visiting nurse noted that Juan’s ability to self-care has declined and made a note regarding the changes to his condition in Juan’s care plan.

Automated Workflow

HELIOS’ clinically-vetted workflows leverage intelligent business rules and captured data to inform the care manager through an automated workflows that Juan was in need of additional home support, and automatically calculated the increase in hours. The care manager then formally requested an authorization for increased service hours with a few clicks in Helios.

Intelligent Communication

HELIOS’ auto-approval rules engine with pre-configured parameters resulted in an automatic approval for this additional support and triggered an auto-generated approval letter to both Juan and the home health provider.

Proven Track Record Across Highly Regulated Programs

VirtualHealth was the first medical management technology company of its kind to fully commit to a dedicated module for long-term services and supports (LTSS). Understanding the significant regulatory overhead and regional differences among LTSS programs, VirtualHealth built in the ability to configure every facet of the end-to-end LTSS workflow, from enrollment and assessment to service planning and authorization to tracking and all points in between.
