Coordinated Care Management
Care management focuses on providing coordinated health care services to maintain and improve patient outcomes. Coordinated care management is especially important for patients with one or more chronic conditions and for the elderly who represent an increasing number of the estimated 40% of the American population who are living with chronic disease. In addition to improving patient outcomes, coordinated care management helps to address escalating health care costs, since chronic disease accounts for more than half of all medical costs in the United States. SeniorBridge tapped a panel of experts in chronic care to recommend best practice standards for coordinated care management, with a focus on managing care for elderly patients with complex chronic conditions. BEST PRACTICES IN COMPLEX CHRONIC CARE MANAGEMENT AT HOME, a SeniorBridge White Paper, provides case studies and detailed examples of coordinated care management implementation.
