Chronic Care Management in New Orleans, LA
What is chronic care management?
Chronic care management (CCM) is a special service that offers coverage for patients diagnosed with two or more chronic disorders. This program allows for a continuous relationship with their individual medical care team. The CCM approach involves developing a comprehensive care plan, coordination of care between providers, management of medication, and interactive remote communication and management (generally over the phone).
Chronic care management at Metropolitan Gastroenterology Associates is often beneficial for patients in terms of gaining ongoing support for their health and wellness. It also enables increased access to the proper healthcare resources, enhanced communication with care team members, fewer emergency room visits and hospital stays or readmissions, and increased engagement in their individual healthcare.
