Caregiving Groups for Android

11 things about Caregiving Groups

1. The AARP in its report "Valuing the Invaluable: The Growing Contributions and Costs of Family Caregiving, 2011 Update" states this clearly in pointing out that family caregivers alone provide the equivalent of $450 billion worth of care per year to adult parents.

2. Accordingly, the Caregiving Groups app advances patient care by empowering them and their teams with capabilities like personalized drug lists, centralized calendars, event reminders, photo sharing, issue tracking, and therapist reviews.

3. The Caregiving Groups app and its accompanying and integrated web portal applies many of the same concepts to healing patient populations that great sports teams, companies, and other organizations use to drive performance and positive outcomes.

4. And these same caregivers, if properly engaged and mobilized, provide a resource pool for patient populations beyond just the aged.

5. By bringing together the right people, with the right information, and the right regimen, individuals and the teams behind them stay on plan and experience fewer dropped balls.

6. This makes caregivers one of the largest and most overlooked pillars of the U.S. health care system.

7. Innovative organizations and individuals are finding new tools, methods and participants in the battle to make healthcare work better for everyone.

8. Central to our approach is surrounding patients with the people, tools, processes and knowledge they need to flourish.

9. The health care industry in the U.S. and elsewhere in the world faces an array of new challenges.

10. The aging of America alone will stress systems and resources in the U.S. for decades to come.

11. In some cases these difficulties are of a magnitude never seen before.
