The Challenge
The majority of the general population now suffers from one
or more Chronic Conditions and as the Baby Boom generation
ages, the problem is worsening. Disease Management companies
and Specialists handle a portion of these patients, however,
PCPs are still the frontline when it comes to Chronic Condition
Management.
How we can help
In contrast to Integrated Behavioral
Health programs where the issue is around detection of
under-diagnosed conditions, Chronic Conditions generally are
already known, but need to be managed. Mirroring your
practice's treatment protocols: registries are setup (diabetes,
asthma, hypertension, chronic pain, etc), data collection
protocols are configured and questions & measures are
assigned (compliance,
severity, co-morbid psych, quality-of-life, etc).
With these data protocol definitions setup, based on the
patient's known Chronic Conditions, trigger logic in the
Electronic Patient Interview automatically collects the required
patient information during each interview. Integrating this
data into the patient's treatment, provides the PCP with key
information, as well as information they normally would not have
the time to gather, making them more effective in the management
of the patient's Chronic Condition.
Looking at Outcomes
Using Patient Tools to manage the data collection process you can
instantly view how well your patient population is doing.
You can see how well Chronic Condition treatment protocols are
working on average, compared to norms or set points. You can
also drill down to see how well sub-groups are fairing or look at
individual cases.
