What is chronic care management?
Chronic care management (CCM) is a specific healthcare management service that offers coverage for patients with at least two chronic diseases. It allows for a continuous relationship with their individual healthcare team. The CCM approach includes formulating a comprehensive care plan, interactive remote communication and management (typically via phone), medication management strategies, and the coordination of care among providers.
Chronic care management at Gastroenterology Consultants is advantageous for patients when it comes to ongoing support for health and wellness. It also allows for expanded access to relevant medical resources, improved communication with care team members, reduction in emergency room visits and hospital stays or readmissions, and greater engagement in their individual healthcare.
