Medical care is growing ever-more complex. Ensure all your employees are getting the best medical treatment possible by using Carewise Assist to take a closer look at their treatment plans and address any “gap,” or concern, about their care. Members can also contact Carewise Assist if they have a concern.
Carewise Assist bridges the gaps in care that sometimes occur when a patient engages healthcare. It helps patients comply with their doctors’ treatment plans, identifies any potentially adverse drug reactions and supports the physicians in managing chronic conditions. Carewise Assist also alerts the patient and physician if the care plan diverges from accepted standards of care, so nothing is overlooked and employees receive the best care possible.
Carewise Assist monitors your entire population, not just those at high medical risk, and enhances the care of everyone in your organization.
How is Carewise Assist different?
Building skills for better health
Traditionally, gaps-in-care programs simply alerted physicians to potential concerns regarding the care of patients. Patients were treated as passive recipients of care. In keeping with the philosophy of Carewise Health, Carewise Assist helps members build the skills they need to effectively manage their health. We bring any concern to the attention of the patient and work with the physician to facilitate a resolution. This approach not only helps solve the immediate problem, but also educates the member to be a more effective healthcare consumer in the long-term. The member builds skills in self-advocacy and learns the specific steps necessary to take a more active role in his or her health.
Additionally, Carewise Assist gives employers powerful, analytical reports that detail exactly where gaps in care are occurring and how they are being addressed. Learn more about our rigorous analytics.

- National Committee for Quality Assurance/ Healthcare Effectiveness Data and Information Set
- American Medical Association /Physician Consortium for Performance Improvement
- Centers for Medicaid and Medicare Services
- National Quality Forum / Ambulatory Quality Alliance
- Absence of medical tests
- Absence of medications in an individual’s treatment
