Patient Care Management

Skill Development Program in Patient Care Management

Patient care management is a program designed to provide comprehensive health services that aid patients in managing their health. It covers various activities, from primary care practices like scheduling appointments to short-term case management and chronic illness care management. Care management plans improve care coordination, enabling patients to better manage their overall healthcare needs by following straightforward instructions from trusted clinicians and caregivers. This approach fosters the development of healthcare models that deliver optimal treatment methods and empower patients to take ownership of their specific healthcare goals. For chronic illnesses such as diabetes, high blood pressure, heart disease, and other long-term health conditions, patient care management is essential. It allows healthcare providers to manage these conditions effectively using a comprehensive strategy and community resources, ensuring ongoing attention to patient’s health and well-being even outside the doctor's office or hospital. Care management focuses on practice-based approaches to enhance the health of populations with complex or chronic medical issues. To support these efforts, healthcare organizations are increasingly adopting care management software to streamline operations. These solutions can be scaled to meet the needs of large healthcare systems or downsized for smaller primary care clinics, with EHR integration being crucial in all cases.
