Chronic Care Management in New Orleans, LA
What is chronic care management?
Chronic care management (CCM) is a specific care management service that provides coverage for patients who have two or more chronic diseases, allowing for an ongoing relationship with their individual medical care team. This program involves developing a comprehensive care plan, interactive remote communication and management (usually over the phone), management of medication, and coordination of care between providers.
Chronic care management is offered at Metropolitan Gastroenterology Associates and is helpful for individuals in terms of continuous health and wellness support. It also enables greater access to the appropriate healthcare resources, enhanced communication with care team members, fewer emergency room visits and hospital stays or readmissions, and greater engagement in one’s healthcare.
