Description

Product Description:
Vynca offers a complete end-to-end EHR-integrated advance care planning solution for hospitals and health systems. From shared decision making around advance care planning to digital completion of documents – POLST, advance directives and others – we make these digitally available to all clinicians, patients, and their selected caregivers.
About Vynca:
Vynca, an advance care planning solution, addresses critical unmet needs in end-of-life care by aligning two important factors: individual preference with individual care. We help individuals, their caregivers, and clinicians navigate the complex process of making choices for future care preferences, and ensuring they are honored. Any breakdown in this complex process results in medical errors, adverse events, unwanted healthcare utilization, and poor patient, family and clinician experience. By engaging and empowering everyone involved in this process, we ensure personalized end-of-life care can be provided to every individual, every time.
Product Description:

Koda’s scalable SaaS solution creates clear, actionable care plans that reduce the total cost of care, elevate the patient experience, and improve equity of access. Our solution is a one-stop shop for ACP - where patients understand their options and communicate clear directives- giving providers the necessary information for better, more efficient care.

Product Capabilities

Our KodaCares service layers on top of our digital tools to provide a human touch for your patients who need additional support. Our expert team guides them through their planning but also works to alleviate any burdens from plan completion - from facilitating conversations with their care team and family members, to clarifying therapeutic options.

Koda's ACP allows patients to digitally send their plans to their Surrogate Decision Makers (SDMs) and any other caregivers. Our KodaCares service facilitates phone calls between SDMs, loved ones, and the patient to ensure clarity and alignment regarding care preferences.

Koda seamlessly fits within a system's workflow and needs. Once patients are referred to us, Koda's ACP experience guides them through their planning. Once their plans are complete, they're made digitally available to your organization. You'll receive regular updates about the progress of your patient base through ACP; we also notify you of patients appropriate for a DNR-OOH, and any needs that may become apparent while your high-risk patients are supported through our KodaCares service.

Koda's digital tools contain videos, "select all that apply" sections, and other interactive tools to educate patients then capture their care decisions. There are in-app nudges that have various functions including: 1) notifying patients when a decision differs from their ideal quality of life 2) Explain their options and the requirements for in-app legalization 3) Clarify surrogate decision-maker options and requirements. This interactive process aggregates these decisions into the appropriate legal forms without feeling as though they're completing paperwork.
