Introducing CareCompass™
Most PERS Vendors Wait for an Emergency. We Prevent One.
Built on ConnectAmerica's decades of leadership in personal emergency response, CareCompass transforms every PERS interaction into a clinically guided care decision with 24/7 nurse triage to help guide members to the most appropriate level of care. The result? Fewer avoidable emergency department visits, a lower total cost of care, and improved member outcomes.
The Platform Between a Symptom
and a Hospital Bill
Most PERS calls aren't emergencies but, traditionally, all calls are treated that way. Introducing CareCompass - a platform that gives health plans earlier visibility into member risk — before it becomes an ED visit or inpatient admission. Same PERS button but now every call is assessed in real-time and routed to the most appropriate level of care.

Questions Leaders Ask Most.
Learn how CareCompass integrates with your existing programs, supports your care management goals, and delivers measurable clinical and financial value.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.
