As a seasoned entrepreneur and IT leader with deep expertise in Security and Compliance, Pete is passionate about bringing new technologies like YCare to market – especially, solutions that will improve how care is delivered to improve patient outcomes, reduce costs, and improve the quality of life of patients, providers and administrators. It’s a real bonus that we can also help generate a new income stream for healthcare providers and their billing partners.”
Pete added, “The US Healthcare system needs to create better outcomes for everyone and, in particular, our society’s most clinically complex and medically vulnerable patients. How many of us have had aging family and friends who were in and out of the hospital, treating chronic conditions, sometimes three or four times per year. But each time, they leave the hospital in worse condition than they entered. My mother suffered more than she needed to at the end of her life. Care coordination has long been cited as one of the most glaring gaps in our healthcare system. Medical errors, including coordination of care, are the third leading cause of death in the US! We need to fix this!”
Dr. Cherdak continued, “YCare is a mobile platform that links family, caregivers and healthcare professionals in a patient-centered model of care. Our solution provides active real-time remote patient monitoring, medication management, care plan management and data analytic capabilities in support of subacute eldercare & chronic disease management. Our YCare platform and mobile app puts the consumer at the center of the health care experience. Our integrated RPM and CCM solution improves patient engagement and care coordination by empowering patients to securely share their real-time health data within their Community of Care – including their family, caregivers, physicians and specialists. This approach to engagement is fostering better care coordination which is leading to more personalized, specialized care and better outcomes for all.
Our YCare team has three key goals: drive costs out of system, link outcomes to quality, and improve the patient experience through better engagement with their family, caregivers and providers. Our solution helps providers deliver the right care in the right place at the right time and also generates the clear, compliant documentation needed for proper accountability and billing for care coordination activities.”
