The Chronic Care Model for Physician Offices Preventing Medicare Consumers from Getting Sick The prevention of major illness is the first step in maintaining a healthy lifestyle. It seems so simple, yet every day Medicare consumers who can and should get screenings and vaccinations don’t. There is a very real need for more effective strategies for delivering preventive medicine to those who need it the most.
In the 9th Scope of Work, we are helping health care providers to use their electronic health record systems to implement care management processes to improve the rate of patients that receive:
Breast & colorectal cancer screenings
Influenza & pneumococcal immunizations
