The Critical Role of Care Coordination for Seniors
Senior mental health is a crucial aspect of overall health that unfortunately often goes unnoticed or untreated. According to a study by the National Institute on Aging, many older adults experience inadequate care coordination between providers and have limited access to formal care coordinators. This is problematic, as the physical and mental health needs of individuals tend to become more complex and interconnected as they age. Consequently, effective communication and coordinated care are vital for this demographic.
In response to this pressing need, Georgia-based Leubh Healthcare has developed a unique integrated case management and care coordination model. This model primarily targets primary healthcare providers and encompasses medical, behavioral health, and social services. The aim is to provide comprehensive, coordinated care, tailored specifically to meet the unique needs of aging individuals.
QUALO: A Technological Solution to Care Coordination
The recently announced partnership between Advanced Metrics and Leubh Healthcare aims to tackle senior mental health issues by using QUALO, a software specifically designed to enhance senior care coordination strategy. Steven Herr, Ph.D., CEO of Advanced Metrics, explains, “Mental health problems such as anxiety and depression are not inherent to growing older, and they are largely treatable. We knew it was critical to work with Leubh Healthcare to implement QUALO to support seniors’ mental health through technology-enabled case management and care coordination. The QUALO platform assists case managers to easily complete mental health screening assessments, develop care management plans, track productivity, and generate comprehensive reports.”
As Leubh Healthcare expands its services across the United States, QUALO offers a powerful platform for care coordinators to optimize their work.
