Chronic Care Management Q&A
What is chronic care management?
Chronic care management (CCM) is a comprehensive approach to treating long-term health conditions that require ongoing medical attention. It focuses on personalized care plans, regular monitoring, and lifestyle modifications to help patients manage their conditions effectively.
By providing continuous support, CCM helps prevent complications, improves quality of life, and reduces hospital visits.
What issues can chronic care management address?
The Haven Wellness Clinic treats many chronic issues. Some of the most common include:
High blood pressure
Also known as hypertension, high blood pressure can increase the risk of heart disease, stroke, and kidney problems if left uncontrolled. Chronic care management helps track blood pressure levels, recommends lifestyle changes, and adjusts medications as needed to maintain healthy readings.
Diabetes
Managing diabetes requires monitoring blood sugar levels, diet, and medication. CCM provides ongoing support through routine checkups, lab tests, and personalized treatment plans to prevent complications like nerve damage, kidney disease, and vision problems.
High cholesterol
Elevated cholesterol levels can contribute to heart disease and other cardiovascular issues. Chronic care management provides dietary guidance, medication adjustments, and lifestyle recommendations to lower cholesterol and maintain heart health.
Thyroid issues
Conditions like hypothyroidism or hyperthyroidism affect metabolism, energy levels, and overall well-being. CCM allows regular monitoring of thyroid hormone levels, proper management of medications, and maintaining control of symptoms.
How does chronic care management work?
CCM involves a coordinated effort between Belinda and you to ensure effective treatment and lifestyle adjustments. Here’s how it works:
Personalized care plans
Belinda creates a customized plan based on your condition, health goals, and treatment needs.
Regular check-ins
You receive ongoing support through scheduled visits, phone calls, or telehealth appointments.
Medication management
Belinda reviews prescriptions, adjusts dosages, and ensures you’re taking medications correctly.
Lifestyle support
Belinda provides education on diet, exercise, stress management, and other healthy habits.
Preventive screenings
Routine lab tests and screenings help monitor progress and detect potential complications early.
By actively managing chronic conditions, you can maintain better control over your health, reduce symptoms, and enhance overall well-being.
