Innovating Member Experience: Three Plans Engage Family Caregivers

Carallel CEO, Shara Cohen, moderates panel of Medicare plan leaders at ONLIVE powered by HLTH
Family caregivers — an unpaid and often invisible workforce — are at the heart of member care, as they lead tasks like medication adherence, make site of care decisions, help members avoid readmissions or emergency room visits, and more. In fact, caregivers influence nearly 70% of Stars measures.
Webinar attendees will hear from three Plan Medicare leaders about how and why they’ve implemented support for family caregivers. Panelists will share success stories and give insight into replicating their results.
Takeaways:
At the end of the webinar, participants will be able to:
- Recognize the impact of family caregiver burden on their membership
