Revolutionary Healthcare Concept Fills Critical Niche
What about the other 23 hours?
WILMINGTON, DE, July 15, 2011 /24-7PressRelease/ -- Advances in awareness, early detection, prevention and the treatment of cancer mean cancer survival rates are increasing according to National Cancer Institute Cancer Trends Progress Report . However, nationally, we continue to fall short of the Dept HHS Healthy People 2010 targets. The role of formal and informal support groups as a vehicle to improve patient outcomes as part of the total treatment experience are well documented and generally acknowledged by health care professionals. Despite these findings fewer than half of diagnosed patients in some studies were given information about support groups.
Combining the efficacy of support groups and the explosive popularity of social networking a revolutionary new company has emerged to fill a critical niche in the treatment of chronic disease. Team Health Inc.is pleased to announce the launch of www.OurHomeGame.com, a 24/7, on-demand, video driven, high touch health coaching platform. Ourhomegame.com supports and delivers research based education and information that enhances patient compliance and manages patient expectations. This, in turn, actually strengthens the collaborative relationship between primary care physician, specialist, complimentary care, patient, family and community support. And does so in a way that is engaging, interactive and personalized.
Founder of Our Home Game.com Steve White, states "It is not unusual to feel that you are the only person who has experienced the pain you are feeling, particularly if you are going through the transition of emotional and physical changes caused by the onset of symptoms. Above all, it is our opinion that the most important thing patients with a serious or life threatening disease can have is support." Our Home Game is a company dedicated to the healthy and meaningful adaptation to living with a debilitating disease. The company currently addresses a niche in the market place that has been previously left to the individual who had been diagnosed with the disease.
Many times it's the uncertainty that patients have that can make things worse than they need to be. Unfortunately, there generally is not a comprehensive guidebook provided to patients who are diagnosed. The Physician generally gives the patient the bad news and perhaps a pamphlet with an apology, then refers them to a different doctor. "People need compassion, connection and understanding. Patients need certainty and direction. Our Home Game was designed to assist these patients in designing a life outside the doctor's visits. If a patient sees his or her doctor an hour a day, our question is-what are they doing with the other 23 hours? The company provides 24/7 support and coaching for those in need. A big part of the battle is expectations. Patients can demonstrate tremendous resilience when they understand what to expect." Continues White. For further information, visit www.ourhomegame.com
