How Matrix partnered with a State Health Department to provide convenient access to life-saving treatments statewide

How Matrix partnered with a State Health Department to provide convenient access to life-saving treatments statewide
Situation
- Over the course of the pandemic, COVID-19 cases have overwhelmed hospital emergency departments, however this state was facing a dire situation with more than 90% of its surgical and intensive care unit beds in use
- Monoclonal antibody treatment has helped reduce illness severity, hospital admissions, and death for high-risk patients with COVID-19; treatment must be administered within 10 days of initial symptoms to be effective. While the Federal government was providing the life-saving drug, the challenge for States was to deploy it rapidly and – even more importantly – equitably.
- People in underserved communities had limited access to care and needed timely treatment – particularly in rural regions with few providers and care facilities capable of administering the life-saving drug
Approach
Matrix, a leader in population health management, partnered with a State public health department to rapidly bring convenient access to treatment directly to underserved communities, using Mobile Health Clinics:
- Mobilization– Matrix deployed eight Mobile Health Clinics, often moving every two weeks to serve areas of highest transmission
- Treatment– Each mobile clinic was staffed by experienced clinicians who first administered the treatment, then observed patients for an hour to ensure their comfort and safety. Many patients felt better within 24-48 hours and continued recovering at home
- Privacy and security– Patients received the intravenous treatment in one of three private exam rooms.
8 Mobile Health Clinics
Deployed to underserved communities across the state
18 Sites
Providing patient care and monoclonal antibody treatment
2,500 Patients
Served with quality care
“Our care teams and mobile clinics were not only bringing life-saving treatment to patients who may not otherwise have received it, we were also helping to address health disparities further exacerbated by the pandemic.”

State-of-the-Art Mobile Fleet Brings Critical Care Services and Health Innovation to Minnesotans in Underserved Metro Communities
For more than twenty years, Matrix has helped America stay healthy by providing life-changing healthcare services to individuals wherever they are. This was especially true during the pandemic, when Matrix brought critical healthcare to populations across the US. In Minnesota, Matrix partnered with the Minnesota Department of Health to rapidly deploy mobile clinics to deliver critical COVID-19 services, namely COVID-19 vaccinations and monoclonal antibody treatments. This partnership, and the services delivered, are consistent with Matrix’s vision of ensuring equal access to comprehensive quality care, for everyone, everywhere.
Providing vital healthcare services to underserved communities is a challenge in the best of times. Compound this with the surge of COVID-19 cases and sub-zero temperatures, and you have a sense of the complex challenge the state of Minnesota faced during the most recent wave of the pandemic.
Reducing Severe Illness and Hospitalizations
Prior to the Mobile Health Clinics, patients in some areas traveled up to 300 miles to get monoclonal antibody treatment. However, with the strategically placed mobile clinics, many residents were able to get treatment right in their own neighborhood. To date, more than 3,000 residents have received the monoclonal antibody treatment through the mobile clinics.
“Matrix is uniquely positioned to help because we can travel with experienced clinicians and state-of-the-art equipment to assist people who might not otherwise receive timely treatment,” said Daniel Castillo, M.D., M.B.A., Matrix Chief Medical Officer and Group President. “Once treated, patients can continue recovering at home, easing the strain on overcrowded health facilities and staff.”
Each mobile clinic has three rooms for patient care and privacy. The intravenous treatment must be administered within 10 days of symptom onset and takes about two hours to complete. After treatment, many patients report feeling better within 24-48 hours.
Focusing on Patient Care and Comfort
In addition to the convenience, Matrix staff is also helping patients overcome language barriers. Several clinicians speak to patients in their native language, including Spanish, Somali and Hmong. Interpreters are also available to help patients feel more at ease.
Creating a positive patient experience is a priority for the Matrix team. “We recently received a phone call from a patient treated at one of our mobile clinics in Minnesota. She lives with multiple sclerosis and also previously had a stroke,” noted Matrix Clinical Director Meg Reese. “The patient said she felt taken care of from the moment she arrived in the parking lot, where our crew member helped her out of the car and into the clinic. She complimented the staff’s dedication to patient care and described them as being the ‘best ever’ at what they do. Comments like that are so rewarding and fuel our passion to help.”

Thermo Fisher Scientific Enhances Clinical Research Solutions in Collaboration with Matrix Clinical Trials
Mobile research – sites an innovative decentralized trial solution – ease barriers to patient participation, improve trial enrollment
WILMINGTON, N.C., April 19, 2022 – The PPD clinical research business of Thermo Fisher Scientific Inc., the world leader in serving science, and Matrix Clinical Trials, a Matrix Medical Network offering, are collaborating to bring clinical trials to patients with an innovative decentralized clinical trial (DCT) solution. The business is deploying state-of-the-art Matrix mobile research sites and expert clinical staff across the U.S. to help identify, recruit and retain trial participants, while ensuring a positive patient experience. At the same time, the two companies are exploring opportunities to expand the collaboration to additional geographies.
Thermo Fisher’s clinical research business is the only clinical research organization (CRO) to use Matrix’s virtual principal investigator network coupled with mobile sites as a stand-alone transportable clinical trial operation. The collaboration demonstrates Thermo Fisher’s continuing commitment to advance decentralized trial solutions for customers and patients.
“We are proud to be a source for one of the latest clinical innovations to enhance patient-centric trial participation,” said Tim Rich, vice president, digital and decentralized solutions, clinical research, Thermo Fisher. “Mobile sites are a key component of our sought-after portfolio of hybrid and decentralized clinical trial capabilities. With Matrix’s experienced teams of clinicians and ready-to-deploy mobile sites, we are able to reach a broader range of participants, including in previously under-represented and under-served communities, without requiring them to travel to traditional investigator sites far from their homes.”

These services reduce the burden for patients to participate in clinical trials, while providing customers with greater geographic reach through reduced reliance on brick-and-mortar site locations, more timely access to data, improved quality and consistency, and better patient engagement.
“Matrix is very excited to partner with such an innovative CRO in the decentralized clinical trial space,” said Thad Wolfram, president of Matrix Clinical Trials. “We have been enabling decentralized clinical trials and working together since the beginning of the pandemic, using our mobile sites as a critical component to diversifying clinical trial participant populations. As we’ve seen over the last year, these innovative offerings are providing a growing benefit across varying therapeutic areas to reach underserved and geographically diverse trial populations. Our novel collaboration with Thermo Fisher strongly aligns with both organizations’ vision of advancing life-saving clinical research and improving health outcomes for study participants.”

A new benefits partnership helps employees prioritize preventative care

A new benefits partnership helps employees prioritize preventative care
Most people turn to a primary care physician when they’re feeling sick. But what about when they’re healthy?
While it’s commonly recommended that people under 50-years-old see a primary care physician every three years and those over 50 see their physician once a year, doctor visits may be the furthest thing from an employee’s mind if they deem themselves healthy. But this disconnection from care can lead to some serious medical consequences.
A study published in BMC Primary Care found that one primary care visit per year led to a 127% increase in vaccinations, 122% in colonoscopy and 75% increase in mammograms. The study notes that these care interventions not only improve long-term health outcomes but decrease healthcare costs. So, how can employees have a better relationship with primary care and prevention?
Healthcare companies Crossover Health and Matrix Clinical Solutions are attempting to answer that query by teaming up to connect workers with a joint primary care and occupational health services solution. This employer-provided benefit includes access to Crossover’s primary care model through Matrix’s onsite services, such as vaccine deployment and health screening.
“Matrix and Crossover have a very proactive approach to care — we believe the best way to deliver the best health is through prevention,” says Dr. Stephen Ezeji-Okoye, chief medical officer at Crossover. “By coming together, we represent the opportunity for employees to work with an occupational health provider and primary care provider to determine what services they need.”
For example, if an employee is receiving a vaccine at their workplace through Matrix’s providers, that provider may take their blood pressure and discover it’s elevated. The occupational health provider can then direct the employee to Crossover’s primary care team so the employee can receive hypertension management if needed, whether online or at a Crossover health center.
“Essentially, the occupational health provider can make a warm handoff to Crossover’s team, making the care system much easier to navigate for the employee,” says Dr. Ezeji-Okoye. “It’s a seamless blend of services that allows care to actually happen.”
This partnership also allows care to come to the employee. It’s much easier for workers to access health screenings and testing at their workplace, rather than making an appointment with a physician. In fact, the workplace could serve as the gateway to an employee’s healthcare journey — a journey that should start with primary care, explains Dr. Ezeji-Okoye.
However, Dr. Ezeji-Okoye notes that Crossover’s primary care model isn’t just a one-and-done check-up every three years. Instead, Crossover provides every patient with a care team, including a doctor, nurse, physical therapist, mental health therapist and health coach. In turn, this team creates a treatment plan that focuses on the patient’s concerns as well as their health goals.
“We are looking at the whole person and working to improve their overall well-being,” Dr. Ezeji-Okoye says. “A patient not being sick is not good enough for us. We are striving for something higher.”
For Dr. Ezeji-Okoye, it’s crucial that healthcare go beyond the biomedical perspective, even though doctors are reimbursed for providing procedures and treatments, such as antibiotics or surgery — actions that do not always factor in psychological or social challenges that hinders a patient’s health.
“Unfortunately, because of the way our health system is configured, you are not necessarily paid for understanding a patient’s goals, discussing social determinants of health or doing preventative care,” he says. “So, your doctor visits are short and pointed, and these larger discussions about improving someone’s health or changing their behavior are not always rewarded.”
Crossover wanted to provide primary care teams who can holistically help the patient in-person and virtually. Meanwhile, Matrix’s occupational health services can alert employees early on if they should seek care or better manage an existing condition. This also benefits the employer since workers will be more inclined to get care, rather than waiting for their condition to worsen, leading to a drop in productivity, Dr. Ezeji-Okoye explains.
“We are simplifying the employer health benefits landscape,” he says. “We will help the patient navigate more than just the primary care and occupational health system. It’s about navigating them at the right time and to right place to meet their health and wellness goals.”

Crossover Health and Matrix Announce Joint Primary Care and Occupational Health Offering for Employers
Crossover Health and Matrix Clinical Solutions Announce Joint Primary Care and Occupational Health Offering for Employers
SAN CLEMENTE, CA and SCOTTSDALE, AZ, January 20, 2022 — Crossover Health, a leader in delivering value-based hybrid care, and Matrix Clinical Solutions, a Matrix Medical Network ® company and provider of workers compensation health services, announced today at the 2022 Onsite Employee Health Clinics Summit in Scottsdale, Arizona, that they will offer a joint primary care and occupational health solution. The new-to-market offering will combine Crossover’s Primary Health care model, inclusive of primary care, physical medicine, mental health, coaching and care navigation, with Matrix’s custom workplace health solutions, such as onsite occupational health, workplace certification and vaccine deployment and testing, providing employers with a comprehensive health, safety and well-being strategy.
Employer investment in both primary care and occupational health is growing exponentially, in large part because of the evolving workplace health and safety considerations of the pandemic-era. According to a study conducted by Mercer and the National Association of Worksite Health Centers, employers are embracing more expansive health services. Similarly, employers are making major investments in the Occupational Health & Workplace Safety Services industry, contributing to an estimated market size of $7.1b by 2022.
“The pandemic has emphasized an existing demand for employer-sponsored healthcare solutions, as well as workplace health and safety measures, with many employers seeking something more comprehensive and long-term than current offerings,” explained Stephen Ezeji-Okoye, MD Chief Medical Officer, Crossover Health. “Collaborating with Matrix will enable Crossover to offer to employers a broader range of services, streamlining the care experience and delivering meaningful results.”
Matrix Chief Medical Officer and Group President, Daniel Castillo, M.D., M.B.A., added, “We look forward to working alongside Crossover starting with our existing episodic health solutions and exploring the potential to build out comprehensive and convenient solutions for employers who are taking workplace health and safety to the next level. Our combined national footprint coupled with our commitment to improving clinical outcomes and lowering the total cost of care will enable us to create a new standard for workplace health through this joint offering.”
Crossover and Matrix each operate in all 50 states, and combined have approximately 250 physical locations and nearly 6,000 health care providers and staff. The companies share a dedication to the role of foundational primary care and preventative health, and have deep roots in employer-sponsored healthcare. The collaborative solutions are anticipated to be offered later this year.

"ADM’s Culture of Health Stays at the Forefront with COVID-19 Safety Program"
[White Paper] "ADM’s Culture of Health Stays at the Forefront with COVID-19 Safety Program"
As news of the COVID-19 pandemic spread across the globe, Archer Daniels Midland (ADM) leadership quickly came together to develop a plan to keep their most valued resource – their employees – safe. As an essential business critical to the global food chain from farm to fork, ADM’s global employee family of almost 40,000 has maintained operations throughout the pandemic. The health and safety of their workforce was an established priority, so ADM was ahead of the curve in responding to the workplace hazards that emerged as a result of COVID-19.
ADM turned to Matrix to help realize an organized, systematic, and sustained culture of health, with pandemic preparedness as a priority.
In this white paper, we explore key aspects of ADM’s robust COVID-19 safety program, how Matrix quickly activated clinical resources to promote workplace safety and how Matrix leveraged its clinical expertise to adapt a robust strategy in a rapidly evolving environment.
