KDI Health Solutions Rolls Out Nationally Recognized Preventive Health and Chronic Disease Management Programs Across the Carolinas
Raleigh, N.C. – KDI Health Solutions, an emerging regional provider of community-based preventive health care and chronic disease management programs, announced today the launch of its services throughout North Carolina and South Carolina. KDI’s award winning network of PharmD (Doctor of Pharmacy), residency-trained pharmacists provides a new health care services option to the thousands of employer groups and physician practices across the Carolinas.
The KDI business model of deploying a team of highly skilled PharmD clinicians began with the “The Asheville Projectâ€, a nationally recognized diabetes patient care program created for the city of Asheville, North Carolina. This revolutionary community-based program is generating measurable success; health care costs have dropped, fewer work days are being missed and city employees and retirees are living healthier lives.
Asheville City leaders confirm the dramatic results. “The adoption of the pharmaceutical care program is the best thing we have ever done for our group health plan,†says John Miall, former risk manager for the City of Asheville. “Employees with life threatening diseases are healthier than they’ve ever been, and the city’s health plan has saved more than $2,000 in medical costs per patient each year.â€
“Employers are seeing a significant return on investment from our mobile, worksite-based health care services,†says Rebecca Chater, president of KDI Health Solutions. “Employer groups are proactively identifying and reducing immediate and longer term employee health care costs before they happen, while physician practices are providing more patient care in less time with better outcomes – it’s a true win-win for everyone in the health care ecosystem.†Continue reading ‘Kdi Health Solutions Rolls Out Nationally Recognized Preventive Health and Chronic Disease Management Programs Across the Carolinas’ »
