CovenantCare at Home Helps 99-Year-Old Woman Stay Out of the Hospital; Home health care could save $17 billion annually in hospital readmissions Medicare costs
CovenantCare at Home Helps 99-Year-Old Woman Stay Out of the Hospital; Home health care could save $ 17 billion annually in hospital readmissions Medicare costs
chicago, Illinois (PRWEB) December 02, 2011
Hildred is 99 years old; like most people her age, she has medical conditions. Arthritis, hypertension, macular degeneration, hyperthyroidism and the most critical, congestive heart failure (CHF).
But when you visit her, you’d never know it. She fills her bird feeders outside her beautiful apartment in Windsor Park, a Covenant Retirement Community and takes daily walks around the grounds. She writes poetry, creates artwork that adorns her walls, is still active in the book club she started, and has lunch and dinner with friends.
She doesn’t look, or act, her age; more like someone at least 20 years younger.
What has kept Hildred from being admitted to the hospital, where the average Medicare cost of treating CHF is $ 20,000, is a small care team – her daughter, a doctor who didn’t just “automatically” admit her when her CHF symptoms worsened, and a nurse and nursing aide who manage and monitor her medications and overall health conditions every day. Her home care typically costs $ 152 per week.
If everyone had care like this, Medicare estimates its savings from hospital readmissions alone would be $ 17 billion annually. In fact, it is now rolling out a national program that will support better communication among aftercare providers and, starting next year, penalizing hospitals that underperform on hospital readmission rates. (See related fact sheet: http://www.covenantcareathome.org/resources-news/press-releases/home-health-care-a-cost-savings-solution-for-medicare-senior-rehospitalizations/)
“I think I’ve done it myself,” says Hildred, the very independent former teacher, mother of two, grandmother of four and great grandmother of five, when first asked how she’s been able to stay out of the hospital. But then, she admits, “Well, I have to give the nurses some credit. If there is anything wrong, they’re onto it immediately. They come to my apartment every day and also call me. They have been very good in keeping a relationship with how I’m feeling and noticing things that may need attention.”
CHF is a chronic illness, one of three leading causes of hospitalization among the elderly. “It goes from stabilized to recurrence of symptoms very rapidly,” explains her registered nurse, Rosann Forni of CovenantCare at Home.
In April, Rosann noticed that Hildred had shortness of breath, swelling in her legs, fluid retention and changes in her blood pressure. She immediately contacted Hildred’s daughter Carol, who lives an hour’s drive away, and then her physician, Dr. Kenneth Ha.
“When she came in, I suspected CHF and confirmed that,” explained Dr. Ha. “We could either admit her to the hospital or try to treat her as an outpatient. In cases like this, hospitals can be almost counterproductive at times. For the geriatric population, there can be issues with increased confusion of the patient, and a prolonged stay can lead to physical problems and the risk of infection. So, initially I decided to treat her with medications.”
Dr. Ha said that having home health care was ideal for Hildred’s situation. “For the next month or two, there was a good amount of going back and forth” with Rosann, adjusting Hildred’s medications and monitoring her conditions every day.
In fact, says Dr. Ha, “Medication monitoring is huge in treating the geriatric population. At first, patients are resistant to having help because they want to retain their independence. The first step is getting them to realize that they need someone to help them. Otherwise they’ll say, ‘I’ll take care of myself now; I’m not going to pick up the phone and call you.’ But they could be very sick.”
Dr. Ha relies on home health care to monitor his patients. “I just feel like it’s almost impossible to deal with elderly patients the way you should without it. Rosann is my eyes when I can’t be there,” he said.
Hildred’s CHF is in remission now. This has enabled her to stay in her Windsor Park apartment, where she has lived for 22 years. “Of course, you want to stay in your own home,” she says. And, countless studies show that the elderly recover faster and enjoy a better quality of life if they are able to stay at home.
“It is a wonderful life here at Windsor,” she concludes.
One that her healthcare team is committed to maintain.

Colman Brohan Davis Re-brands as CBD; Makes ?Market What?s Meaningful? its Mantra for Deepening Customer Engagement
Colman Brohan Davis Re-brands as CBD;
Makes “Market What’s Meaningful” its Mantra for Deepening Customer Engagement
Chicago, IL (PRWEB) November 08, 2011
chicago marketing and advertising agency Colman Brohan Davis, Inc. has re-branded itself CBD, launched a new website and identity, and elevated long-held practices at the agency for building more intimate customer relationships with a formal positioning of “Market What’s Meaningful.” The statement sums up the agency’s passion for uncovering and articulating customers’ emotional motivations for their purchase of B2C and B2B products and services.
“We’re certainly excited about the evolution of our brand and identity,” says CBD’s Co-CEO, Lori Colman. “But we’re equally excited about bringing clarity and attention to a point of view that’s been part of our agency DNA for our 20-plus years in business. ‘Market What’s Meaningful’ sets us apart as an agency and speaks to our expertise in leveraging customers’ emotional drivers – those things that are truly meaningful to them that affect how and why they buy.”
In fact, CBD has built strong practice areas to mine the customer insights that enable a “Market What’s Meaningful” approach. The agency has a senior management team devoted to full-service research capabilities, brand architecture and messaging, and business strategy modeling. In addition, CBD has developed Pulse™ as a proprietary service for monitoring and analyzing brand-relevant opinions and comments as expressed in traditional, online and social media.
The agency calls their approach “customer centric at the very deepest level” and a path to uncovering insights that build a bridge to the wants and needs of customers, who can then be visualized and addressed personally rather than as a generic group.
“Rational purchase drivers like price, features and benefits are clearly still relevant,” observes CBD Co-CEO Liz Brohan. “What we add are insights and messaging that can resonate at a truly heart-felt level, regardless of what the product or service is, and whether it’s sold to a consumer or business prospect.”
Brohan notes that when clients embrace “Market What’s Meaningful” as an approach, it results in benefits across an organization. “The customer insights and ‘aha’ moments needed to deliver on this strategy certainly impact marketing decisions, but can also be very important to sales, customer service, public relations, manufacturing and even HR,” she concludes.
A banner ad campaign, “Passion Makes a Comeback” is supporting CBD’s “Market What’s Meaningful” positioning. CBD’s website has also been refreshed with a new creative look and feel, as well as a richer sampling of creative and thought-leadership content. A new CBD White Paper “Market What’s Meaningful,” a guide to the importance of utilizing this approach, is available to download.
About CBD: Founded in 1992, CBD is a B2C and B2B advertising and integrated marketing agency that clarifies and articulates what’s most meaningful about brands products or services to build more intimate and profitable relationships with customers. Based in Chicago, it serves national and global clients and has been a designated “Top Agency” by BtoB Magazine for the last six years.
