Tamarin Health Announces the Sana Support Network to Aid in Covid-19 Response

BRIGHTON, Mass., March 24, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- Tamarin, the digital health company which provides tools and advanced analytics for collaborative healthcare decision making, announces the launch of its Sana support network to aid physicians and healthcare professionals during Covid-19. 

Sana is a virtual patient support network that works in the background, white labeled as an extension of the clinical team, freeing providers to focus on rising in-office needs or an increasingly demanding hospital schedule.

Powered by a clinical affiliation agnostic, collaborative platform and a nationwide network of clinical caregivers, Sana monitors patients virtually with the intention of keeping patients at home. Sana caregivers identify gaps in care, appointment needs, decline in status, and, in the event of escalating complications, provide triage recommendations to physicians for telemedicine, an in person visit, home health, or hospitalization.

Providers can rely on Sana to monitor patients in a variety of situations, such as:

• For patients at risk for Covid-19
• For patients confirmed positive for Covid-19 but not hospitalized
• General care management, or
• For the Remote Patient Monitoring or Chronic Care Management programs reimbursable under Medicare

Tamarin believes that extending the clinical team for general patient support, early identification, and intervention of complications can prevent unnecessary utilization of healthcare facilities at a time when concerns of overcrowding are increasing.

"From day one, our tools were built for the remote care management that is needed during this outbreak," said Kat Kuzmeskas, MPH, co-founder and CEO of Tamarin. "It is crucial that our healthcare system is able to care for patients in a hybrid approach. We must work together to collectively fight this pandemic."

Tamarin is currently working with nearly 200 physicians across the nation in Medicare'sBPCI-A, and using the Sana support network, has saved its physicians on average more than $7,000 per clinical episode.
