Partnering with Physicians Every Step of the Way

We offer turnkey end-to-end CCM and RPM solutions so that physicians can focus more on caring for their patients and leave the heavy lifting from patient setup, provision of RPM devices, CCM tracking, and billing. We provide everything a practice needs to start its RPM program and optimize CCM services.

Clinical Team Elevating Care

Our business model is unique and unlike other vendors, for we establish and develop a real relationship with our patients. Our care coaches easily pick up subtle changes to a patient’s behavior because they are able to know the patient closely.

Healthier Patients with Measurable Outcomes

The majority of enrolled patients in our RPM and CCM programs have shown significant improvements in just a few weeks. RPM patients have recorded improved physiologic readings and CCM patients have avoided hospitalizations and readmissions through compliance to care plans.

Seamless EHR Integration Adds Efficiency

With EHR integration, our solutions cause no disruption to practice routines and add more efficiency with a significantly reduced volume of patient calls.

Sustainable Scalable Setup

We focus on quality, not quantity with our care coaches working fewer hours but with great results. ACP is able to grow internally because we keep our patients fully engaged. In so doing, we can easily scale up our services to care for more patients as your practice continues to grow.

Telemedicine at its Best

We provide optimal remote care for both CCM and RPM patients, leveraging the latest telecommunications technologies to provide on-demand virtual consultations at any time and place.

Artificial Intelligence Alerts

Our AI-assisted platform is able to keep tabs on our patients, alerting them when measurements are not recorded or providing follow-ups for care instructions. These critical steps keep patients engaged and promote compliance, promoting health outcomes that can reduce healthcare costs.
