Diabetes is one of the most costly and common chronic conditions, and health plans are looking for ways to ensure that members with diabetes are armed with the best tools for management.
Many health plans may have already invested in programs of their own, but the truth is, traditional diabetes management programs are not delivering. Members are not engaging, cost is skyrocketing and satisfaction is dwindling.
Glooko can help empower your members with diabetes and improve outcomes through 4 key aspects of our program.
1. Member Choice
Glooko is a “bring-your-own-device” program that allows members with diabetes to sync their preferred blood glucose meter and other popular diabetes devices via the Glooko mobile app to share their data with care teams. That means that members can see data from their current, on formulary blood glucose meter, insulin pump or continuous glucose monitor in aggregated views, so they can better understand the factors that impact their glucose levels. This provides the flexibility to keep using the technology members are comfortable with and allows Glooko to drive higher participation and to also access historic diabetes data that can drive pattern recognition and insight with the first use.2. Continuity of Care
Glooko got its start by providing solutions to physicians in diabetes clinics and is currently used by over 1.5 million people across 7,000 diabetes clinics. This means your members may already be receiving care from physicians who use Glooko, which makes coordinating care between your care management team, the member, and their physician very easy. Any data the member syncs is accessible by the care management team and the physician!
3. Amplify Your Care Management Program
As we mentioned before, health plans have already started invested in diabetes management programs, but they aren’t delivering.
Why? Without data to see how a patient is doing today, coaches are essentially flying blind. Glooko enables members and coaches to better collaborate on care. We do this by giving coaches access to glucose, medication, and lifestyle data from one dashboard so it can be used to personalize the coaching they provide. They can see members who are trending towards risk, see who is doing well and easily navigate through data that previously wasn’t available.
Glooko can fit into and amplify your current program, or help you build a program from the ground up.
4. Best in Class Outcomes
Glooko takes a collaborative approach to build a customized, compelling and engaging program for your members. We define objectives and goals based on your key performance indicators and develop an offering with member experience as a top priority.
Our marketing efforts are based on best practices and leverage your existing channels of member communication. Once the program is launched, we continue to partner together to optimize as needed.
This approach has produced on average a 25% rate of enrollment, 50% engagement rate and 12% improvement in glucose levels in as little as three months.
