Chronic Care Management
Chronic Care Management (CCM) are services that help patients with two or more chronic conditions manage their health and improve their quality of life. These services include developing a comprehensive care plan with a dedicated healthcare professional, coordinating information and referrals between the medical team, refilling prescriptions, symptom management, patient health education, preventative health counseling, community resource referrals, and interventions to reduce risk factors for falls. Chronic Care Management is a proactive interaction between the clinician and patient to provide ongoing support outside of their regular doctor’s visit.
Remote Patient Monitoring
Remote patient monitoring services (RPM) are the use of digital technologies that allow providers and clinicians to virtually monitor patients in and outside of traditional health care settings. RPM can use medical devices to monitor a patient’s health or response to treatment using non-physiological data, such as medication adherence, response to therapy, musculoskeletal activity, and respiratory activity.
