CHRONIC CARE MANAGEMENT
We’ll be by your side through ongoing health issues
MANAGING CHRONIC ILLNESS WITH VITALCARE
One of the primary goals of chronic care management is to support patients with ongoing chronic illnesses through developing a continuous and trusting relationship with a provider while creating a comprehensive care plan that aims to help patients achieve health goals and return to normal life activities when dealing with ongoing health issues.
ABOUT CHRONIC CARE MANAGEMENT
At VitalCare Family Practice, we believe patients will experience better health outcomes when we work together to understand what to expect when living with a chronic illness and learn what to do to manage symptoms or exacerbations. Chronic care management offers additional help in managing ongoing conditions. This includes a comprehensive care plan that lists your health problems and goals, other health care providers, medications, community services you have and need, and other information about your health. It also explains the care you need and how your care will be coordinated.
Your health care provider will ask you if you want to participate in this. If you agree, VitalCare Family Practice will prepare the care plan, help you with medication management, provide 24/7 access for urgent care needs, give you support when you go from one health care setting to another, review your medicines and how you take them, and help you with other chronic care needs.
