Duxlink Health, Florida based multi-specialty practice group with Duxlink Health Technology, the sister technology company, provides its unique integrated solution, Duxlink Tele-Hospital™. The solution focuses on one goal – “High risk Population Health Management to reduce unnecessary hospital readmissions.” The main product, Inter-reality Care™ (both On-site and On-line Care) provides hospital level of care for high risk patients in the post-acute care continuum.
The Upcoming Perfect Storm
Duxlink Health was formed at the inception of Medicare’s official reimbursement of Telemedicine in the US along with the shifting paradigm from fee-for-service to value-based care for cost reduction. Based on National Quality Forum 2017 Report, preventable 30-day readmission costs the US $25-45B annually, 5-30% higher than regular admissions. Recently in October 2018, Medicare just released a BPCI (Bundled Payment for Care Improvement)-Advanced program, extended the 30-day metrics to 90-day readmissions, which is much harder to achieve. For example, the 30-day readmission rate for heart failure is average approximately 20%, the 90-day is over 50% in the US, but can be over 90% in some hospitals.
The BPCI-Advanced program has not only elevated the clinical quality threshold, but also is posing a 20% of upside/incentives or a downside/penalties on the 1,300 hospitals nationwide in the US that already signed the contracts with CMS. This may accelerate estimated 450 hospital closures in the next a few years projected by Morgan Stanley in August 2018.
The Key Challenge
The fundamental problem of hospital readmission is the silo of patient data and care from all the entities, outside of hospital, due to lack of data integration and focused high risk care delivery. Although many programs have been trying to decrease readmissions using data analytics to identify high-risk patients, or administrative networking to establish preferred partners in post-acute care, yet the average national readmission rate has been flat with only ~1% lower based on American Health Rakings over the last six years.
Duxlink believes that in additional to analytics and networking, the healthcare industry has to deliver hospital level of care without sacrificing care quality in the post-acute care continuum, ie Hospital – In-patient Rehab Hospital – Nursing Home – Home Care – Patient Selfcare at Home. With this believe, Duxlink Health and Duxlink Health Technology have developed a unique Eco System of Tele-Hospital with multipletechnical and clinical platforms of hospital level of care from integration of device, data, implementation and services in the post-acute care continuum, a huge under-served market to decrease preventable hospital readmissions for care quality and cost savings.

JDE provides some advanced technologies and tools that can help in transforming the healthcare facilities management in a better way.With the help of the Internet of Thing (IoT), more than one monitoring device can be connected, which enable you in real-time monitoring of the patients.Besides these, the devices can also transmit signals from home.
Hence, IoT helps the healthcare professional to be more connected and watchful with the patients.Here are some of the ways by which the IoT is helping the healthcare facilities management to be more proactive and attentive towards the patients:1.
Just with the use of the smart transmitter, you can monitor and send signals regarding your blood sugar level to the mobile device.Similarly, with the sensor-based intelligent system's help, you can follow the blood pressure level in the patients who are suffering from high blood pressure or hypertension.
Monitoring these can help to lower the risk of any critical cases.2.
Controlling Building Automation System (BAS)For many years now, different healthcare facilities have been using different high-tech systems such as building security, elevators, asset management, HVAC, etc.The IoT has made it easier for healthcare management by bring all these together in the cloud and integrating IT.
With the help of IoT, the information is transversed between the devices so that the entire process can function automatically without the need for human intervention.
