Defining Chronic Care Management (CCM):
Chronic conditions, such as diabetes, heart disease, and asthma, are long-term health problems that require ongoing management and care. The goal of Chronic Care Management (CCM) is to provide patients with the support they need to manage their chronic conditions and prevent complications. This includes regular monitoring, medication management, lifestyle modifications, and education on self-management techniques. By helping patients manage their conditions, chronic care management can improve their quality of life, reduce hospitalizations, and lower healthcare costs.
CCM services are typically provided by healthcare teams that include physicians, nurses, and other healthcare professionals. These teams work together to develop a care plan that is tailored to the patient’s specific needs. The care plan may include regular check-ins with the healthcare team, medication management, lifestyle counseling, and education on self-management techniques. Our team at Vis-À-Vis Health offers dedicated CCM services that include biometric remote patient monitoring, on-demand virtual and in-person physician visits, care plan development with treatment goals, and a continuous relationship with a dedicated Care Navigator, with 24/7 access to care and health information.
In recent years, the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) has recognized the importance of chronic care management and has started reimbursing healthcare providers for these services. This has led to an increase in the availability of CCM services for patients with chronic conditions, and Vis-À-Vis Health’s extensive healthcare suite serves as no exception. CCM is particularly important for patients with multiple chronic conditions, as these patients are at higher risk of hospitalization and other complications.
Our chronic care management is a healthcare service that aims to improve the quality of life for patients with chronic conditions, and by providing coordinated care, regular monitoring, and education on self-management techniques, our CCM services can help patients manage their conditions and prevent complications in the long-run. With the increasing recognition of the importance of chronic care management, more patients with chronic conditions are able to access the care they need to stay healthy.
