The Science Behind SandwYch

Our proprietary hospitalization risk index provides an evidence-based, quantifiable metric for evaluating patient care at home.

By identifying patients at higher risk of hospitalization, healthcare providers can allocate resources more efficiently, targeting interventions where they are most needed, resulting in improved patient outcomes – including individual, social and community drivers of health – as well as providing significant cost savings.

This highly personalized index takes a whole-health approach by merging important elements of electronic health records, social determinants of health, and patient-reported outcomes with proprietary engagement data, allowing providers to more closely align interventions with individual patient needs.

And the index offers a common language for diverse healthcare stakeholders, including doctors, social workers, and caregivers, facilitating coordinated care and shared decision-making.

By empowering patients and caregivers to take an active role in their healthcare journey, SandwYch enhances both quality of care and patient satisfaction.
