Who is Iris?
Iris partners with health plans and at-risk healthcare providers to scale the delivery of Advance Care Planning solutions for the seriously ill and healthier populations. Iris takes ownership of the integration and delivery of Advance Care Planning and expanding access to Palliative Care and Hospice while keeping your clinical teams informed. Our solutions result in reduced care utilization, lower cost of care, improved healthcare quality and enhanced member experience.
The Problem
When individuals face a serious illness, healthcare becomes central to their life.
In a crisis, every healthcare 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 remember less than half of what their doctors tell them and often they don’t recall the conversations accurately. (Brown University School of Public Health)
That means most people make major healthcare decisions without fully understanding their choices.
Our Solution
Iris facilitators talk with individuals and family members 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 healthcare 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.
Advance care planning helps them get the care they want and avoid unnecessary or non-beneficial care.
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 members and healthcare providers by clarifying preferences before a health crisis.

How does it work?
Personalized support and family discussion with an expert
We include family, caregivers and physicians in the advance care planning conversation to enhance shared decision making and to provide member support during planning and implementation.Our healthcare experts empower individuals with in-depth information surrounding treatment options in the context of their disease and what navigating future medical situations could look like.
Personalized advance care plans and directives
We support members 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.
Supported Implementation
We keep advance care plans and documents up-to-date and provide ongoing support to members and family in managing towards care goals as their illness progresses by connecting to Palliative Care, Hospice or other appropriate resources.
