NASHVILLE, Tenn.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Reimagine Care, the nation’s leading on-demand cancer care provider, today announced an expansion of its innovative symptom-management program to now support surgical oncology patients, transforming the experience of post-operative cancer care.
Global demand for cancer surgery is predicted to increase by 52% by 2040, translating to an additional 5 million procedures. However, with surgical oncology techniques advancing, more complex surgeries can mean greater risks of complications and readmissions after discharge. While the causes of readmission after discharge for oncology surgery are multifactorial and depend on the type of cancer and surgery performed, some frequent issues include postoperative complications, gastrointestinal issues, and surgical site infections. As a result, cancer patients now require more personalized care after they leave the hospital to help them recover more confidently from home.
To help support patients and alleviate uncertainty with their home-based recovery, Reimagine Care’s program provides a seamless recovery transition from the hospital to home, empowering patients to focus on healing while knowing that expert help is always within reach. Its program delivers personalized support and proactive monitoring that anticipates care needs across all treatment modalities.
“We’re reimagining what post-operative cancer care looks like by making sure patients don’t feel alone during recovery. Our program proactively reaches out to patients, catching potential problems early, to give families peace of mind, all while reducing the burden on healthcare providers,” said Dan Nardi, CEO of Reimagine Care. “By expanding our cancer treatment services to include surgical oncology patients, we can now support all patients regardless of the care they need – whether that’s medical oncology, radiation therapy, or surgery.”
Reimagine Care helps oncologists deliver more continuous, high-quality care with a comprehensive, technology-enabled platform that connects care beyond the clinic. Key features include:
On-demand Expert Support: Patients have 24/7, on-demand access to Reimagine Care’s Virtual Care Center, where compassionate, experienced oncology APPs, RNs, and MAs are ready to resolve post-operative concerns in real-time.
Proactive Monitoring: Using an AI-powered virtual assistant, Reimagine Care proactively checks in with patients, helping identify and manage concerns before they become serious and require more acute care.
Tailored Patient Education: Patients receive simple, easy-to-follow guidance on wound care, drain management and post-op nutrition, among other topics. With procedure-specific content, patients are empowered to take charge of their recovery.
“Our program doesn’t just treat symptoms; it provides the reassurance and support that every patient deserves during recovery,” Pallav Mehta, M.D., Medical Director for Reimagine Care said. “By leveraging both technology and human touch, Reimagine Care is setting a new standard in cancer care, one that makes patients feel seen, heard, and cared for. This is a new era for cancer care.”
