Lewis Pearl Group develops The Connected Care Network — a single automated platform that links the patient’s home directly to the clinic floor across nine of Northwest Louisiana’s most isolated parishes.
Rural Louisiana’s care gap is widening — medically underserved parishes carry high rates of hypertension, diabetes, and cardiovascular disease with too few providers to manage them. Care stays reactive, and preventable escalations become high-cost ER visits. The Connected Care Network replaces fragmented, isolated tools with a single automated ecosystem.
Long travel times, no premium smartphones, and unreliable home internet — leading to missed check-ins and unmonitored escalations.
Strained clinics lack staff for daily monitoring and juggle disjointed tools — driving up overhead while critical data slips through the cracks.
Cellular devices auto-transmit vitals — no apps or pairing.
Synthesizes, filters, and triages every reading.
Prioritized alerts and live e-Consults reach the right clinician.
Each tier is engineered for the realities of rural connectivity — built to run where home internet and premium devices can’t be assumed.
Cellular-embedded BP cuffs and glucometers auto-transmit vitals to the cloud. No apps, pairing, or home internet required.
Waiver workers, aides, and family log daily activity and medication compliance through a low-bandwidth portal.
Threshold breaches trigger patient alerts and prioritized clinic dashboards, opening live e-Consults to urban specialists.
Targets for the Region 7 pilot cohort — designed to bend the outcomes Louisiana already tracks.
A disciplined four-quarter rollout across the parishes where the care gap is widest.
Engineering, HIPAA mapping, and device procurement.
Portals live, device rollout, and site onboarding.
Active monitoring and e-Consult go-live.
Impact analysis and RPM billing activation.
Built to self-sustain beyond the grant — turning the monitoring it automates into recurring, reimbursable revenue for rural clinics.
Auto-formats the time-tracking and logs required to bill Louisiana Medicaid & Medicare for Remote Patient Monitoring.
Post-grant, the platform shifts to a per-patient, per-month subscription paid by participating provider networks — recurring revenue that scales statewide, with an optional Medicaid reimbursement payment plan.
Lewis Pearl Group is led by Terry Adkins, a United States Air Force veteran with more than three decades of grant and program development across Louisiana’s health and human-services landscape.
Through Integrity Consulting & Professional Services (ICPS) — a 20-year, BBB-accredited Louisiana consulting firm — he has built and supported programs spanning Home and Community-Based Services, OCDD waiver systems, and rural community development. Lewis Pearl Group extends that record into health-technology, pairing on-the-ground Louisiana systems knowledge with full-stack platform engineering, automated clinical workflows, and low-cost, scalable cloud deployment.
Louisiana healthcare-systems expertise — HCBS, OCDD waiver systems, and Medicaid RPM billing knowledge — supporting grant and program development.
