Differentiators

Differentiators vs EHR Functionality:

Strategically, Locus is focused on: 

(1) helping our customer health systems leverage the critical investment they’ve made in existing technology platforms like the EHR, creating impact for key patient populations where remote care management can most effectively drive outcomes and return on investment. 

(2) meeting our health system care teams where they are, recognizing the reality of patient monitoring and navigation needs vs available provider resources and ensuring that our platform’s ability to collect, synthesize, and transmit key population and patient-specific data supports the efficiency of their teams’ workflows and innovative approaches to coordinated care. 

(3) providing a single-platform “middleware plus” approach to integration, allowing health system teams to choose their preferred remote devices and seamlessly integrate with other relevant patient information via Locus to the EHR 

(4) helping our health system customers view and establish Remote Care Management (both RPM and Navigation) as a strategic capability, supporting both enhanced quality outcomes and becoming a positive-ROI profit center (via enhanced reimbursement revenue and/or lower preventable costs).

Differentiators vs EHR Functionality:

We are an online specialty clinic so very different from EHR

Differentiators vs Competitors:

Paloma Health is the only end-to-end online medical practice focusing on hypothyroidism. This differentiates us from testing companies like Everlywell because the testing kit is only the beginning of the patient journey –the subsequent treatment and care is the core of what we do.

Our specialization sets us apart from other digital health players because we specialize deeply into a unique (and prevalent) condition that requires personalized care. This personalized and holistic approach–whether it is our test that includes more biomarkers than most or that our doctors are leading experts on hypothyroidism–sets us apart in the mind of consumers.
