Chronic Care Management
Chronic care management is a specific care management service that provides coverage for patients with two or more chronic conditions for a continuous relationship with their care team.
Remote Patient Monitoring
RPM is the use of digital technologies to monitor and capture medical and other health data from patients and electronically transmit this information to healthcare providers for assessment and, when necessary, recommendations and instructions.
Transitional Care Management
Transitional Care Management (TCM) services address the hand-off period between the inpatient and community setting.
Remote Therapeutic Monitoring
RTM is, essentially, the use of a medical device (as defined by the Food and Drug Administration) to monitor a patient's health or response to treatment using non-physiological data.
Whether it’s fear of COVID-19 or the realities of a busy life, virtual care accommodates everything from pandemic-related precautions to unique family circumstances and hectic work routines. Virtual care is efficient, too. It erases the time it takes to commute to a care center.
Instead of replacing in-center appointments, virtual care provides an additional avenue for patients to connect with medical professionals, including:
It’s one more access point for employees who need to schedule and receive care at any point in their day.
When paired with a care model that’s built around health outcomes, virtual care extends the whole person care experience found in an in-center appointment. Virtual care helps patients and providers foster trusting relationships where underlying causes can be identified and patients take greater ownership over their health goals. It’s a formula for improved health outcomes — and improved health means happier, healthier, and more productive employees.
By increasing the utilization of virtual primary care services, including routine and preventive care, virtual care significantly reduces the strain on all other portions of the healthcare system. This includes specialty and urgent care, ER visits, and hospitalizations.
Rural patients historically face greater obstacles to behavioral healthcare, but virtual care erases that barrier. Mental health services are often the leading reason for virtual care appointments, at a time when more than 4 in 10 American adults report struggles with mental health.
