Reduce Avoidable ED Utilization.
Lower Total Cost of Care.
CareCompass™ is the clinical layer that turns any PERS deployment into a care management tool. Every button press becomes a clinically guided decision — a licensed nurse assesses in real time and routes members to the right level of care, before the ED becomes the default.
The Problem:
Your Care Management Stack Is Blind at 2am.
Value-based care programs are built around scheduled outreach, proactive risk stratification, and coordinated care management. They work. And they are completely blind at the exact moment most avoidable ED visits happen.
A high-risk member stands in their kitchen at 2am — uncertain, not sure if they need the hospital. Their care manager doesn't know. Their telehealth benefit requires a login. So they press their button — or call 911 — and that moment is where your ED spend lives. No tool in your care management stack owns it.
Avoidable ED visits and hospitalizations cost health plans $32 billion annually — and members pay up to 12x more for care that could be delivered in another setting. Every one of those visits started the same way: a moment of uncertainty with nowhere better to go.
CareCompass™ closes that gap.
It's the clinical layer that sits on top of any PERS deployment — turning every button press into a real-time opportunity for a licensed nurse to assess the situation and route the member to the right level of care, whether that's a PCP, telehealth, urgent care, or EMS when it's truly needed. Instead of the ED becoming the default response to uncertainty, CareCompass™ makes sure it's the right response.
A Smarter Response, Step by Step
Most PERS calls don't require EMS — yet most programs treat everything as emergent. CareCompass™ routes every member to the right level of care from the very first response.
1. Preliminary Screen
When a member presses their button, a response specialist immediately assesses whether the situation is emergent or urgent — routing every call to the right pathway from the start.
2. Nurse Triage
A licensed nurse joins the call, performs a clinical assessment informed by the member's risk trends and history, and determines the most appropriate intervention.
3. Clinically-Guided Routing
Recommendations — PCP, telehealth, urgent care, SDoH support, caregiver assistance, or EMS — are routed based on your plan's protocols.
4. Closed-Loop Follow-Up
A follow-up confirms care instructions were followed and feeds triage data back to your care teams for proactive outreach.

Common Questions
Questions health plans ask us.How is CareCompass™ different from a standard PERS program?
The device is the same. CareCompass™ adds a clinical layer: instead of defaulting to EMS, a licensed nurse assesses the situation in real time — informed by the member's risk trends — and routes to the most appropriate site of care.
Does nurse triage delay dispatch in a true emergency?
No. When a situation is clearly emergent, EMS is dispatched immediately and the nurse guides caregivers while help is en route. Triage adds a smarter path for the many presses that don't require an ambulance.
Does CareCompass™ qualify under MLR?
Yes. Unlike traditional PERS, CareCompass™ qualifies as a care management program under MLR — counting toward care spending rather than administrative costs.
What does implementation look like?
CareCompass™ activates on the PERS devices your members already have. It implements in 6–8 weeks with minimal staffing requirements and complements your existing care management workflows.
How does CareCompass™ fit Medicare Advantage vs. LTSS programs?
For Medicare Advantage, it reduces avoidable ED/IP spend, strengthens STARS performance, qualifies as care management under MLR, and delays institutional transitions by preventing the events that trigger them. For LTSS, it supports HCBS and community-based care goals and extends limited LTSS workforce capacity.
Which quality measures does CareCompass™ support?
One engine moves five at once: ED & Acute Hospital Utilization (EDU/AHU), Plan All-Cause Readmissions (PCR), Care for Older Adults (COA, SNP-required), Reducing the Risk of Falling (HOS), and Getting Care Quickly / Needed Care (CAHPS) — improving HEDIS, CAHPS, and Star performance together.
