Get Well Receives 2024 Fierce Healthcare DEI Award
Get Well, a leader in digital patient engagement, proudly announces its achievement of the Fierce DEI Award for Outstanding DEI Initiatives in Patient Care. This prestigious recognition is a testament to Get Well's commitment to addressing key issues related to maternal health equity and the mental health of youth.
Advancing Maternal Health Equity
The core offering of Get Well includes a maternal health equity program aimed at bridging the gap in healthcare access for underserved communities. "Our maternal health equity program tackles disparities directly, ensuring that all mothers receive the care they need," said Michael O'Neil, the founder and CEO of Get Well. This initiative emphasizes a high-tech and high-touch approach, blending technology with compassionate care.
Collaboration with LifeBridge Health
In collaboration with LifeBridge Health, Get Well's program has made significant strides by reducing preterm deliveries. Enhanced monitoring and support have led to healthier pregnancies and a decrease in premature births, showcasing the program's impact on maternal health outcomes.
Improving Youth Mental Health
Get Well is also making waves in youth mental health through its partnership with Canopy Children's Solutions. Together, they developed Canopy Anywhere, an AI-driven platform providing digital Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and resources that cater specifically to the needs of youth in Medicaid systems. This initiative utilizes “science of hope” content to engage and motivate young people to explore pathways to mental wellness.
High Engagement and Positive Outcomes
The results of this program are promising; 81 percent of targeted youth activated their accounts, a clear indication that the program resonates with the participants. Notably, outreach efforts identified 20 percent of these youth as needing additional support, demonstrating the program's proactive nature in mental health care.
Recognizing Social Determinants of Health
Unlike many traditional programs, Get Well integrates a comprehensive support system that emphasizes the social determinants affecting health outcomes. This holistic approach enables personalized care, ensuring services are accessible and culturally aware, which is pivotal for creating effective health solutions.
Significant Results in NICU Stays
Additionally, the maternal health initiative revealed a 52% relative reduction in the length of stay for newborns in the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU). Continuous care has played a critical role in minimizing complications associated with extended NICU stays for infants.
