Accordant
Nursing support for members with complex and rare conditions
Annual costs for members with complex and rare conditions are more than twice the cost of members with common chronic conditions, and seven times the cost of an “average member” accessing the health care system. Often, care is more challenging. Fifty percent of patients leave their doctor’s office not understanding what they have been told, and one in three adults lack sufficient health literacy to effectively manage their own care.1,2 Members with complex and rare conditions experience:
2x higher annual healthcare costs than those with common chronic conditions
7x higher annual healthcare costs than the average member 3
Accordant has been providing whole-person care, including comorbidity management, to patients with complex and rare conditions for more than twenty years. Using real-time pharmacy and medical claims data, electronic health records (EHRs), and health plan and specialty pharmacy referrals, Accordant nurses can identify plan members with complex conditions earlier, and proactively provide support to better manage their whole condition through evidence-based interventions.
