Chronic Care Management (CCM) in Washington
What is chronic care management?
Chronic care management (CCM) is a type of care management service that offers coverage for individuals with a minimum of two chronic conditions, allowing for a continuous partnership with their individual medical team. This approach involves the creation of a comprehensive healthcare plan, coordination of care among providers, medication management strategies, and interactive remote communication and management (usually over the phone).
Available at Washington Gastroenterology, chronic care management is advantageous for patients when it comes to receiving continuous health and wellness support. It also allows for greater access to the proper medical resources, enhanced communication with care team members, a reduction in ER visits and hospital stays or readmissions, and increased participation in their individual healthcare.
