Who is Iris?
Iris, powered by Aledade, partners with healthcare teams to scale the delivery of Comprehensive Advance Care Planning (CACP). Iris takes ownership of the integration and delivery of Advance Care Planning while keeping your clinical teams informed. Our CACP process results in reduced care utilization, improved healthcare quality and enhanced family and individual experience.
The Problem
When individuals face a serious illness, health care becomes central to their life.
In a crisis, every health care decision can have a major impact.
Our Solution
Most of us plan carefully for many kinds of decisions to make sure we get the quality and experience we want.
At Iris, we believe that healthcare decisions deserve the same level of consideration as buying a home, planning a wedding or any other major life event. And we’re ready to help.
The Problem
Most people reindividual less than half of what their physicians tell them and often they don’t recall the conversations accurately. (Brown University School of Public Health)
That means most people make major health care decisions without fully understanding their choices.
Our Solution
Iris facilitators talk with individuals and family individuals about their health and their options for future care.
Our process helps people understand their choices and make informed decisions about the kind of care they want.
The Problem
66% of all U. S. personal bankruptcies are due to medical issues, including health care costs and lost work time.
530,000 American families file for bankruptcy every year due to overwhelming medical costs. (CNBC)
Our Solution
Healthcare is a key component of quality of life, and individuals want the best quality care they can access.
CACP facilitates providing individuals with the right care, at the right time, in the appropriate setting.
The Problem
Dealing with any serious illness or medical crisis is stressful for individuals and their loved ones.
Facing major medical decisions without a plan places a burden on families and raises the stress level for everyone involved.
Our Solution
Creating an advance care plan with Iris offers peace of mind for individuals, family individuals and healthcare teams by clarifying preferences and documenting them before a health crisis occurs.

Personalized advance care plans and directives
We support individuals with the information and guidance necessary to make informed decisions about the most appropriate treatments based on their unique care goals and personal values.This helps us create state-specific Advance Directives with robust personalized supplemental documents that are widely distributed to family, physicians and hospitals to support goal concordant care.
