Evidence-based care programs and conversational AI will support patients throughout their cancer care journey

SAN FRANCISCO, Sept. 26, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- Memora Health, the leading intelligent care enablement platform, today announced a partnership with Eisenhower Health, a comprehensive health care institution known for providing excellence in patient care. This partnership will support the launch of oncology care programs to support over 1,000 patients in receiving oral and infusion chemotherapy.

Through this partnership, Eisenhower will leverage Memora's platform to provide high-touch support and proactive symptom assessments to patients during their cancer treatments. Using evidence-based care programs and conversational AI to deliver this support, Eisenhower will be able to reduce the burden of routine phone calls and portal messages for clinical team members, while increasing care plan adherence and reducing the impacts of treatment-induced toxicities for patients. In a similar program focused on oral chemotherapy medication adherence with Penn Medicine, Memora's conversational AI was able to manage 60% of symptoms without care team escalation or intervention.

"Going through chemotherapy can be scary. Being able to address a patient's questions and concerns about their care is critical," said Laura Latham, director of clinical operations at Eisenhower Lucy Curci Cancer Center. "By partnering with Memora Health, we can deliver the proactive, high-touch support these patients need and deserve, while taking the burden off of our doctors and nurses to do manual check-ins or respond to routine patient questions."

Memora's platform simplifies complex care delivery for patients and their providers by automating care journeys. The program provides 24/7, two-way communications with patients around their care, and intelligently triages patient questions and clinical concerns to the appropriate care team members. Seamless integration with Eisenhower's EHR, Epic, allows Memora's intelligent care enablement platform to capture and log vital patient data from every interaction, keeping providers up to date, and enabling coordination and collaboration among clinical team members.

"We are honored to partner with Eisenhower Health to address the critical needs of cancer patients and the clinical teams supporting them," said James Colbert, MD, MBA, senior vice president care delivery at Memora. "Our platform will enable Eisenhower's clinical teams to focus on providing the highest level of care to patients throughout their oncology journey, while helping to keep patients on their care plans and out of the Emergency Department."

Together, Memora and Eisenhower are creating a more efficient way to extend clinical resources to deliver the same — or better — level of care to patients going through complex treatment, such as chemotherapy.
