To address members’ and family members' back and joint pain from home, Vori Health, a musculoskeletal care company, has joined with employee benefits payer Star Marketing and Administration, known as Trustmark Small Business Benefits, to offer physician-led orthopedic virtual care.

为了解决成员和家人在家中的背部和关节疼痛，肌肉骨骼护理公司Vori Health与员工福利付款人Star Marketing and Administration（即Trustmark Small Business benefits）合作，提供医生主导的骨科虚拟护理。

WHY IT MATTERS

By partnering with Trustmark, Vori Health will offer members of small business group plans physical medicine and rehabilitation, physical therapy, prescriptions, imaging and lab ordering, health coaching, nutritional guidance, community support, and more, the telehealth company said in an announcement on Thursday..

该远程保健公司在周四的一份公告中表示，通过与Trustmark合作，Vori Health将为小型企业集团计划的成员提供物理医学和康复、物理治疗、处方、成像和实验室订购、健康指导、营养指导、社区支持等服务。。

A team of board-certified specialty physicians, physical therapists, registered dietitians and health coaches stay with patients throughout their MSK care journeys – from medical diagnosis and clinical care to healthy lifestyle coaching – to deliver long-term results for chronic MSK conditions, Vori said..

Vori说，一个由董事会认证的专科医生、物理治疗师、注册营养师和健康教练组成的团队在患者的MSK护理过程中（从医疗诊断和临床护理到健康生活方式指导）一直陪伴着患者，为慢性MSK病提供长期疗效。。

The company also offers in-person orthopedic care.

该公司还提供亲自骨科护理。

'This relationship will provide access to virtual specialty MSK care for thousands of valued members and their families, streamlining non-operative care in what has traditionally been a fragmented experience for patients across the U.S,' Ryan Schoenecker, Vori's chief commercial officer, said in a statement. .

Vori首席商务官Ryan Schoenecker在一份声明中说，这种关系将为数千名有价值的成员及其家人提供虚拟专业MSK护理，简化非手术护理，传统上美国患者的零散体验。。

In December, the company partnered with Contigo Health, a health benefits platform, to offer self-funded employers to extend the Charlotte, North Carolina-based payvider's orthopedic surgical Centers of Excellence program to improve patient outcomes and lower costs.

12月，该公司与健康福利平台Contigo Health合作，为自费雇主提供服务，以扩展位于北卡罗来纳州夏洛特的payvider骨科外科卓越中心计划，以改善患者预后并降低成本。

Millions of employees are struggling with back and joint pain nationwide, according to Vori Health.

据Vori Health称，全国数百万员工正在背痛和关节痛中挣扎。

THE LARGER TREND

更大的趋势

While virtual care has declined in some segments, like mental health – as evidenced by Teladoc withdrawing its 2024 forecast due to a $790 million impairment charge related to BetterHelp in the second quarter, according to Reuters last week – treating pain through digital platforms that offer personalized care plans, exercise regimens and guidance has been growing..

据路透社（Reuters）上周报道，尽管虚拟护理在某些领域有所下降，如心理健康领域——正如Teladoc撤回2024年的预测所证明的那样，由于第二季度与BetterHelp相关的7.9亿美元减值费用，通过提供个性化护理计划、锻炼方案和指导的数字平台治疗疼痛的情况一直在增加。。

Telemedicine and digital therapeutics can improve orthopedic care and physical therapy, according to Bronwyn Spira, founder and CEO of Force Therapeutics.

Force therapeutics创始人兼首席执行官布朗温·斯皮拉（BronwynSpira）表示，远程医疗和数字治疗可以改善骨科护理和物理治疗。

She told Healthcare IT News in 2022 that lower-income and minority populations face multiple barriers to accessing healthcare and are less likely to pursue orthopedic care, 'which can result in significant functional impairment.'

2022年，她告诉《医疗IT新闻》，低收入和少数民族人口在获得医疗保健方面面临多重障碍，不太可能进行整形外科护理，“这可能导致严重的功能障碍。”

'At least 60% of American adults are affected by a musculoskeletal disorder, and more than 75% of those 65 and older are living with at least one [MSK] condition, which ranges from tendonitis to arthritis, degenerative disc disease and chronic lower back pain,' she said.

她说：“至少60%的美国成年人受到肌肉骨骼疾病的影响，65岁及以上的人中有75%以上患有至少一种（MSK）疾病，包括肌腱炎、关节炎、椎间盘退行性疾病和慢性下背痛。”。

'Untreated musculoskeletal conditions also can result in sedentary behaviors that lead to or worsen co-morbidities such as diabetes, obesity and depression.'

“未经治疗的肌肉骨骼疾病也可能导致久坐不动的行为，从而导致或加剧糖尿病、肥胖症和抑郁症等并发症。”

While most small business owners worry about the cost of health coverage, they offer health insurance to hire and retain the best workers. According to a recent virtual MSK report from the Peterson Health Technology Institute, virtual physical therapy could lower healthcare costs.

虽然大多数小企业主担心医疗保险的成本，但他们提供医疗保险来雇用和留住最好的工人。根据彼得森健康技术研究所（Peterson Health Technology Institute）最近发布的一份虚拟MSK报告，虚拟物理疗法可以降低医疗保健成本。

The 2024 report updated on Monday said app-based exercise therapy and physical therapist-guided programs could replace in-person care, while remote therapeutic monitoring supplemented in-person orthopedic care by improving care plan adherence.

周一更新的2024年报告称，基于应用程序的运动疗法和物理治疗师指导的计划可以取代面对面的护理，而远程治疗监测可以通过提高护理计划的依从性来补充面对面的骨科护理。

The researchers recommended that virtual MSK be integrated into medical benefits – not wellness programs. They also said contracts should rely on value-based payment arrangements and encouraged virtual offerings to partner with payers and providers to improve patient triage and build evidence for moderate and high-complexity MSK care..

研究人员建议将虚拟MSK纳入医疗福利，而不是健康计划。他们还表示，合同应依赖基于价值的支付安排，并鼓励虚拟产品与付款人和提供者合作，以改进患者分诊，并为中度和高度复杂的MSK护理提供证据。。

ON THE RECORD

记录在案

'Musculoskeletal conditions can significantly affect an individual's well-being,' Tim Cremin, vice president of Trustmark Small Business Benefits, said in a statement.

Trustmark Small Business Benefits副总裁蒂姆·克雷明（TimCremin）在一份声明中说，肌肉骨骼状况会严重影响个人的健康。

'Our collaboration is designed to ensure more individuals receive the medical attention they need at a reasonable cost.'

“我们的合作旨在确保更多的人以合理的成本获得所需的医疗照顾。”
