Care Management
Care management is a coordinated approach to healthcare that focuses on improving patient outcomes by organizing and managing various aspects of a patient's care. It involves assessing a patient's needs, creating a personalized care plan, and ensuring that all healthcare providers involved are working together effectively. This process often includes regular follow-ups and adjustments to the care plan as needed.
The goal of care management is to enhance the quality of care while reducing unnecessary hospital visits and healthcare costs. It is particularly beneficial for individuals with chronic conditions, such as diabetes or heart disease, who require ongoing support and monitoring to manage their health effectively.
