Healthcare gets personal, and that’s a good thing
One of the most welcome trends in healthcare in the last 10 years has been the rise in personalized care. Patients, providers, and healthcare organizations are all embracing the cutting-edge technology and mountains of data that’s making it possible.
Tailored care experiences can help foster stronger patient/provider relationships, create care continuity, and lead to faster and better care outcomes.
Bonus: personalized experiences can also help keep the costs of care in check.
Everybody wins.
Embracing tailored care
Here’s how LifeWise health plans set the table for personalized care experiences for our members.
Plans by county
As you may have learned when you signed up with LifeWise, our health plans vary by county. We customized our plans by county because access options vary, as do members’ health needs and goals.
So right off the bat, your LifeWise plan ensures the best pricing, access to care that fits your needs, and care that’s always nearby and in the community you call home.
Kinwell clinics
At 17 locations across Washington, Kinwell clinics offer exclusive access to LifeWise members. For you, that means timelier appointments, longer visits with your doctor, and a focus on whole health that is centered around your specific needs and goals.
Preventive care and health screenings
“One size fits all” is an idiom that doesn’t work in healthcare anymore. Preventive care and screenings are designed to address health risks that are specific to you no matter where you are in your health journey. Preventive care (always covered in full by your LifeWise plan) and screenings help you get ahead of potential health issues before they become larger problems and more difficult (and expensive) to treat.
Digital health messages
One way we notify you directly about a preventive care visit or health screening is through digital health messages. Personalized health updates from LifeWise come to you right on your smartphone. One-to-one text-based messaging is conducted on a private and secure communication channel.
Customer service
When you call, count on getting a LifeWise expert who knows your area, how to help you get the best out of your plan benefits, and how to access high-quality care in your neighborhood.
Privacy and security
Data and technology we use to create personalized care experiences for you are HIPAA compliant. That means your personal health information is safe and secure with LifeWise.
The future of personalized care
The proliferation of data and the evolution of technology to manage it fast and safely will only accelerate the personalized care trend.
In the near future, you should expect healthcare organizations holding your medical history to be less siloed and more integrated with the providers and specialists who need it to make better and faster care decisions–for you. You should expect easier access to—and ownership of—your own medical history records.
Finally, you should expect to feel—and be—more empowered. Personalized healthcare will help you act as a stronger advocate for all that is you while leveraging more control over your care.
