Health Management is a proactive and patient centric approach to managing chronic disorders, delivered through the targeted distribution of specific health care information, for the purpose of avoiding or minimizing the occurrence of preventable health crises, exacerbations and hospitalizations.
The components include ongoing patient assessments, the development of an individual care plan between patient and physician, targeted educational interventions, patient monitoring, and outcomes data collection and reporting.
The scope includes the clinical, psychological, lifestyle, social, financial and other related effects, and offers alternatives to treat each facet of the patient’s life.
