Who We Are
THE CAREMAESTRO TEAM HAS EXTENSIVE CLINICAL, HEALTHCARE, IN-HOME CARE, TECHNOLOGY, AND BUSINESS EXPERTISE.
Our entire team is passionate about improving outcomes and patient satisfaction while reducing the cost of care. Each employee brings their unique talent, experience and commitment to the excellent support of our client providers and their patients.
Clinical Team
WE BELIEVE EFFECTIVE CARE ORCHESTRATION REQUIRES PATIENT ENGAGEMENT BY SKILLED HEALTH PROFESSIONALS
Each patient, with or without co-morbidities, has unique care needs that are best understood by an experienced, trained professional. We commit to the best possible patient care with an ongoing investment in training and support systems for our nursing staff.
Our nurses are specifically trained in remote patient engagement – quickly establishing patient confidence, identifying health concerns and providing expert coaching to help patients better understand and adhere to their care plans and self-manage their care.
SKILLED STAFF CAN BE EXPENSIVE, WHICH IS WHY MANY OF OUR COMPETITORS USE LIAISONS OR HEALTH REPRESENTATIVES.
We won’t compromise, and instead make our staff more efficient with the application of dedicated information systems, custom built for the needs of persistent patient engagement and follow-up.
