Vascular disease kills or disfigures more than 850,000 Americans each year and results in 160,000 amputations each year. Patients with Peripheral Arterial Disease have a two- to six-fold increase in cardiovascular mortality, and many of these catastrophic events could be avoided through revascularization, drug therapy and lifestyle changes. The missing link has been an integrated solution that starts with the early diagnosis of vascular disease – PADnet Disease Management System (PDMS).
PDMS is a turn-key collaborative care program designed to find patients with vascular disease (PAD/CVI) as early as possible in the community via PADnet testing devices. The seamless network connects patients with the best interventionalist for higher levels of study and intervention, leading to more treatment options for patients with disease. The comprehensive suite of software tools that are implemented in the continuum of care platform enables hospitals to track clinical and financial outcomes of their vascular labs and interventional suites. This model will equip your Hospital and Health System with the ability to increase efficiency, provide superior service and outcomes, and create a center of excellence.
Barriers to early diagnosis have included broken links between community physicians, vascular labs, vascular specialists and hospitals; leading to turf conflicts and liability risks. Additionally, until recently, community physicians did not have collaboration-enhancing diagnostic tools. The result of these disconnects has been delayed diagnosis, lost time, insufficient use of resources, and at worst, the loss of human life.
BioMedix has a solution to this problem — through a care platform that connects community physicians with vascular labs, vascular labs with vascular specialists, and vascular specialists with health care systems. Innovative hardware, software and services furnish health care providers with a complete set of integrated tools, from diagnosis to intervention and beyond.
Health care systems will increasingly be asked to simultaneously increase quality while decreasing cost. Pressures are coming from government and third-party payers, the demands of well informed baby boomers, and new technological imperatives. Healthcare systems that embrace these new realities will become centers of excellence through the PADnet Disease Management System.
Network Program Reporting allows hospital administration and/or the cardiovascular service line managers with login privileges to access an online dashboard of all network activity, abnormality rates, physician usage and more for each PADnet testing site in the network. This data is critical to the success of the program.
