Wanting to provide the best treatment available, help people live their healthiest lives, and alleviate the health care burden on providers, Intermountain Healthcare, a Utah-based not-for-profit system of 33 hospitals in 7 states, and Story Health, a California-based health technology and services company, have partnered to disseminate specialty care for patients living with heart failure in rural areas.
Goals of this new partnership include ensuring patients get the care they need in a sustainable manner, increasing health system efficiency by preventing unnecessary hospitalizations, and getting high-quality care from urban population centers to rural patients while saving costs to the health care system and saving patients and their families time and convenience.
