Dr. Chi, along with many Rheumatologists around the country, realize that the complexity of autoimmune conditions requires more frequent communication and collaboration with patients than the typical two-to-three in-office visits per year.
Medicare (CMS) and many other health insurance providers understand the limited resources available for complex chronic conditions. These insurance payers have established Connected Care Management programs to allow practices to allocate additional resources, technology, and time to take better care of patients.
Connected Care Management offers routine non-face-to-face services, to augment in-office visits, to help patients who have a variety of diagnoses better manage their health. Understanding the need to better improve patient outcomes, Dr. Chi has helped in creating, designing, and implementing rheumera™, a new rheumatology-focused patient application, to coordinate care management services.
What do Connected Care Management services include?
As a CCM patient, you will gain a team of dedicated health care professionals who can help you:
plan for better health and stay on track for good health
monthly check-ins
increased communication and thorough management of your care.
Each CCM patient will receive a comprehensive care plan. The plan assists with:
supporting your disease control and health management goals
communicating with your approved family members and healthcare team.
Chi Arthritis encourages CCM because it gives patients the support they need between visits:
a regular touch point to help you think about your health
engagement in your treatment plan
assistance in becoming more conscious of taking medications
managing fall risk
other self-management tasks.
Chi Arthritis is excited to offer multiple communication options including phone calls, text messaging, email, and more in an effort to stay connected with you.
We hope that more frequent communication will help you feel more connected to Chi Arthritis & staff.
Additional access for urgent needs is also available for our CCM patients.
