\nCompany\u2019s mobile-first platform empowers members of Northwell\u2019s Business Enterprise Resource Groups with tailored approaches to caregiving, training and resource navigation<\/i>\n<\/p>\n

SCARSDALE, N.Y.–(BUSINESS WIRE)–eFamilyCare<\/a>, the industry\u2019s leading digital platform solely focused on supporting family caregivers through technology and professional Care Advisers, today announced the results from its three-month pilot program with Northwell Health, New York State\u2019s largest health care provider and private employer. In the first three months of the program, thousands of employees across Northwell Health\u2019s various Business Enterprise Resource Groups (BERGs) gained exclusive access to professional Care Advisers through eFamilyCare\u2019s mobile-first platform, which provides longitudinal support to employees as they navigate the many stages of family caregiving.\n<\/p>\n

\n\u201cWe are thrilled at the participation and engagement of our BERG members with eFamilyCare,\u201d said Pat Flynn, Assistant Vice President of Employee Wellness\/Employee and Family Assistance at Northwell Health. \u201cIn conducting internal research of our 80,000-plus employees, it was clear that the pandemic has amplified the immense effect of burnout and stress on health care workers. Combined with the stress that many of those same employees face when they go home and care for their own families \u2014 it doesn\u2019t take long to see that we\u2019re beyond a breaking point. By collaborating with eFamilyCare, our organization is offering an innovative and trusted network of support so that our employees have the right resources and advice when caring for their loved ones, helping them focus on patient care and ultimately improved patient outcomes.\u201d\n<\/p>\n

The study also revealed that the family caregivers themselves have seen an increase in illness and disability compared to five years ago, particularly as the demand for caregiving rises with an aging population.\n<\/p>\n

\nSurvey results from the eFamilyCare pilot program with Northwell Health indicated that participants were extremely satisfied, with an average satisfaction rating of 4.8 out of 5. All respondents indicated that they were provided with information or resources that they would not otherwise have known about. Additional survey results from pilot program showed that:\n<\/p>\n
