\nAnnouncement Comes as a New ADVault White Paper Points to Digital ACP as a Way <\/span><\/i>for Acute, Post-Acute and Long-Term Care Providers to Operate More Efficiently, <\/span><\/i>Enhance the Patient Experience and Attain the Highest Quality Metrics<\/span><\/i><\/b>\n<\/p>\n

DALLAS & COLUMBIA, Md.–(BUSINESS WIRE)–ADVault, Inc., the nation\u2019s leader in digital advance care planning (ACP), and the Health Facilities Association of Maryland (HFAM) have announced a new joint effort to bring ADVault\u2019s digital ACP solution, MyDirectives for Clinicians\u00ae<\/sup>, to long-term and post-acute care providers across the State of Maryland. At a time when all healthcare providers are looking for ways to enhance the patient experience, operate more efficiently, and attain the highest quality metrics, ADVault and HFAM believe digital ACP is key to achieving those goals.\n<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/p>\n

\nThe announcement coincides with the release of a new white paper from ADVault, available for free at https:\/\/tinyurl.com\/yp3eb3hu<\/a>, that uses published research to demonstrate how healthcare providers can leverage technology to conduct ACP discussions, document patient preferences and priorities, and access ACP documents and portable medical orders at point of care. Through the effective use of digital ACP solutions at scale, healthcare providers can achieve patient-centered clinical excellence goals while reducing unnecessary and unwanted hospitalizations, procedures, and hospital length of stay (LOS). The result is not only increased satisfaction for the patient and family but significant cost savings, smarter utilization of resources, and a boosting of quality metrics and performance ratings for the institution.\n<\/p>\n

\n\u201cPartnering with HFAM is the latest step in our growing strategic partnerships nationwide which are centered around educating the market and promoting the importance of digital ACP,\u201d said ADVault CEO Scott Brown. \u201cWe\u2019re excited to work with HFAM to educate the LTPAC community in Maryland about the ROI associated with digital ACP, especially in light of the legislation expanding advance care planning that was recently unanimously passed by the legislature and signed into law by the Governor. We believe Maryland can and should serve as a model for other states across the nation.\u201d\n<\/p>\n

\nAs documented in the white paper, research shows the estimated return on investment for implementing a truly interoperable digital ACP program over a five-year period is 3.7 times in home health agencies, 13.2 times for skilled nursing facilities, and 8.6 times in hospital and healthcare systems. Some of the quantitative and qualitative benefits of digital ACP highlighted in the white paper are:\n<\/p>\n
