The following outcomes are based on responses from caregivers enrolled in Ceresti’s DCAP, from claims data of the care-recipient (member) and from engagement in our tablet-based program. Many of these results are statistically significant (p < 0.05). The outcomes below are only a subset of all of the outcomes we track. Please contact us for details about our most current outcomes.
Ceresti’s Digital Caregiver Activation Program (DCAP) is optimized to increase the knowledge, skills and confidence of family caregivers in caring for an aging loved one (i.e., your member/patient). The impact of activation on member outcomes is highest when caregivers feel more supported, engage in self-care, and feel better about their mental and physical health.
Outcomes from monthly assessments completed by caregivers in the first 180 days of their DCAP’s highlight significant increases in activation and improvements in caregiver wellness.
Ceresti’s DCAP increases caregivers’ understanding of their loved one’s care plan increases, increased caregivers’ ability to recognize changes in member condition, and increases caregivers’ confidence to address emerging member health issues.
Ceresti’s DCAP increases caregivers’ feelings of being supported in their role as a caregiver. Caregivers also reported high satisfaction with their DCAP (net promoter score = 80). In addition, caregivers reported fewer mental unhealthy days (in the last 30 days), fewer physical unhealthy days and fewer days of loneliness.
We completed the first-ever study demonstrating, with statistical significance, that activating family caregivers reduces healthcare cost for members (care recipients) living with dementia.
A summary of third-party validated outcomes, determined versus a propensity-matched comparison group, is provided in this validation report.
Based on our validated outcomes, gross savings of $6,500 per enrolled member per year (PEMPY) are attributable to Ceresti’s Digital Caregiver Activation Program (DCAP).
Activated family caregivers are able to detect changes in a loved one’s condition, before they worsen. As caregivers become more knowledgeable and confident in addressing emerging issues on behalf of their loved one (i.e., your member/patient), their ability to effectively engage the health care system increases. Activated caregivers are more likely to adhere to their loved one’s care plan. They are also better at accurately communicating the status of a loved one’s medications and chronic conditions during an office visit.
For providers whose patients are supported by an activated family caregiver, we observed the following using claims data:
Activated caregivers increase the RAF accuracy for (care recipient) members. Ceresti’s Digital Caregiver Activation Program (DCAP) will drive incremental revenue of $5,000 per enrolled member per year (PEMPY).
Caregivers who participate in their Ceresti programs spend an average of 40 minutes per week engaging in health education, coaching calls, messaging, assessments and other content, and complete an average of 2.2 remote risk assessments per week. More than 90% of caregivers engage on a monthly basis. The average month-to-month continue rate is 97%, and a typical caregiver remains enrolled for 6.6 months before graduating.
