“Adequate patient self-care is essential in the effective management of Heart Failure and allow patients to understand what is beneficial, and to agree to self-monitoring and management plans. Heart Failure patients who report more effective self-care have a better Quality of Life (QoL), lower readmission rates and reduced mortality. ” 1
“The hospital of the future is patient centered. It doesn’t keep patients closed within its walls, follows their daily journey, goes beyond the clinical team and the clinical team keeps track on patients’ daily journey.”
Catarina Batista
Hospital Manager, Hospital da Cruz Vermelha (Portuguese Red Cross Hospital)
“Most frequently, these patients were admitted with severe symptoms. They ended up being admitted at the emergency room in an extreme stage, in which recovery is slower. With UpHill, we can anticipate those situations. Patients come to the hospital earlier, with mild symptoms, we manage to stabilize them, and they can return home. So, patients have fewer hospitalizations and decrease visits to the emergency room.”
Tânia Pontes
Nurse Manager, Hospital da Cruz Vermelha (Portuguese Red Cross Hospital)
“The tremendous experience of UpHill team throughout the implementation process was truly surprising. Whenever decisions had to be made, we felt that we had a very easy workflow and knew what to expect at every moment.”
