Evidence Base

Proving that Trualta’s program reduces cost and improves outcomes.

Unparalleled Caregiver Insight

We have researched the family caregiver experience extensively from the perspective of families as well as clinicians. Through co-design with stakeholders, we validate the usability of the platform, the delivery of content, and the feasibility of improving health-related outcomes.

Connecting the Intervention to the Outcomes

REDUCE RESOURCE UTILIZATION

In one study of payment-induced family care (Medicaid Cash & Counseling), family involvement decreased the likelihood of using the emergency room by 30% and the number of inpatient days by 13 days.

DRIVE HCAHPS

Across 4,000+ hospitals in the HCAHPS 2017 Care Transitions composite, including questions about communication and discharge information, only 53% of respondents reported a top-box score – representing a significant opportunity to differentiate.

EXTEND AGING IN PLACE

In one publicly funded system, home care costs $42/day, a third of the $126/day in long-term care – if there is even a bed available. Enabling families to become confident and competent caregivers is critical to extending time at home.

Our Academic Partners

Our research partners at the Center for Aging + Brain Health Innovation at Baycrest have funded a match control trial with 100+ family caregivers at the University of Florida. We are following families caring for a loved one with dementia for 6+ months to understand how Trualta’s educational intervention can reduce caregiver burden and improve care.

Trualta’s research activities are focused on outcomes that matter to our customers:

Efficacy of Trualta in improving caregiver competency and reducing stress
