Care Management Programs are team-based, patient focused programs designed to meet specific needs of patients based on the program's criteria. These programs are integrated with the patient's care plan continuing for either for a duration or as long as the patient meets the criteria. The criteria includes risk scores, episode, health conditions and determinants.
New healthcare reimbursement models attribute patients to primary care physicians and healthcare systems for episodes of care. The following Care Management programs are often provided to patients to improve their overall health and healthcare outcomes. These programs include care plan development, administrative support in booking appointments, finding services, coordinating medical services and reminding patients.
