A strategic approach to chronic care management (CCM) is essential.

 

This approach should integrate advanced technology with a deep comprehension of healthcare’s fundamental principles, effectively tackling the current challenges and proactively shaping the future of healthcare.

 

Emphasizing patient-centered solutions, this methodology is set to revolutionize the management of chronic diseases, thereby impacting patient care and healthcare economics significantly.

 

This strategy’s critical element is distinguishing between care management (CM) and case management. Care management represents a holistic approach to reducing health risks and costs across populations. It involves identifying at-risk populations, tailoring services to their needs, and deploying appropriate personnel for service delivery.

 

Conversely, case management focuses more on individual patients, offering various services to aid in navigating the healthcare system, ensuring efficient care transitions, and addressing specific patient needs.

PHM systems, which adopt a community-centered approach, work in tandem with CCM systems that concentrate on individual patient care. This synergy allows for effective management of both community health and individual patient needs
