About Us
Based in Skokie, IL, Remcare was established in 2008 with a goal of creating technology platforms that utilize evidence-based best practices to better coordinate care between hospitals, community providers, family members and patients. Remcare's solutions are designed to optimize clinical and financial performance throughout the continuum of care.
Remcare released its first solution, MYremcare™, in 2009. Currently, that technology is used at industry leading home care agencies including Home Instead, Senior Helpers and Right At Home. In 2010, Remcare unveiled its flagship product - Care Team Connect™ – an innovative approach to reduce readmission rates, power accountable care organizations, make care management more efficient, improve patient outcomes and increase patient satisfaction..
Our Roots
Co-Founders Ben Albert and Jim Wills hatched the idea of Remcare while watching their beloved Chicago White Sox in 2007. At that time, Ben was an executive at Patientkeeper and Jim was finishing his masters degree in healthcare policy at Princeton. Both were witnessing the eldercare system fail as their grandfathers became ill and were in and out of the hospital for unnecessary reasons. Ben, with his hospital background, and Jim with his policy background, officially launched Remcare (short for Remote Care) in late 2008 to help chronically ill patients like their grandfathers recieve a higher quality of care while lowering the cost to care for them.
