For Health Plans
We help health plans, ACOs & medical groups to increase the quality and value of care with Advance Care Planning via telehealth

More people than ever live with serious illness, and it can be an overly stressful and costly experience. We can do better.
Advance Care Planning (ACP) helps people dealing with serious illness to think about the kind of care they want, before there’s a crisis. ACP can improve the cost, quality and experience of care for seriously ill people while reducing unwanted or ineffective care.

What We Do

Advance Care Planning
Iris Plans
We provide Advance Care Planning (ACP) services to families dealing with serious illness. ACP is shown to improve the experience of care while decreasing unnecessary utilization. This vital service is also performed by palliative care (PC) providers when they are available.
Unfortunately, the vast majority of seriously ill people do not have access to ACP due to a national shortage of PC providers and other regulatory barriers. Iris fills that need with a highly scalable ACP model.

Family & Caregiver Support
Iris Cares
Most caregivers want a voice in their loved one’s care, have questions about care options and need additional caregiver support. However, many caregivers work during the same hours when care is delivered, so they’re often shut out of being fully involved or receiving additional guidance and resources.
Iris brings the family and other loved ones into planning conversations at convenient times, including evenings and weekends. Everyone can express their views, ask questions and share their expectations. Empowering caregivers with ACP and other needed resources drives better outcomes for all.

Palliative Care Referrals
Iris Supports
Iris helps people dealing with serious illness to receive additional support when they needed it. Iris tracks its members over time and makes referrals to in-home and outpatient palliative care at the right time when symptom management is required. Palliative care is a valuable resource that increases care quality and value, but it is scarce and difficult to scale.
Iris maximizes the efficiency and effectiveness of palliative care, connecting the right people at the right time with this valuable but scarce resource.
