CASE STUDY
Anne Arundel Medical Center
The Challenge:
Anne Arundel Medical Center (AAMC) is a leading hospital in Maryland. AAMC is increasingly focused on the “triple aim” of healthcare: raising quality, reducing cost per capita and improving population health. In a strategic review, AAMC identified post-acute skilled nursing facilities and rehab as a high priority gap area to focus on. The opportunity was to improve quality and lower cost from SNF providers in its market.
The Solution:
Working closely with the Office of Strategic Planning and a broader cross functional team over a twelve month period, SmartLiving 360 helped outline a strategy for improving performance among SNF and rehab providers, create a rigorous process to identify and attract best-in-class providers and define a structure for AAMC to manage providers in the future. In the end, a Preferred Provider Program (PPP) was created of a narrow set of select post-acute skilled nursing facilities.
Services Provided:
· Strategic Analysis and Planning
· Implementation and Project Management
· Industry Workshop for Executive Team
“SmartLiving 360 was instrumental in helping bring our broad team together to create an effective strategy and implementation plan for aligning with post-acute providers in our geography.”

CASE STUDY
Teleon Health
The Challenge:
Teleon is a Silicon Valley-based technology start-up aimed at helping post-acute and other providers in the health ecosystem better and more securely communicate amongst professionals and with patients. Teleon has strong technical expertise and a robust platform but needed to refine its go-to-market strategy and business development execution.
The Solution:
Working closely with the co-founder and CEO, SmartLiving 360 helped improve the value proposition and brand positioning to be more attractive to the long-term and post-acute care market. SmartLiving 360 also helped identify target customers and outreach opportunities which were valuable part of Teleon’s go-to-market plan.
