What is Chronic Care Management?

Chronic Care Management (CCM) is a coordinated approach to healthcare for patients with two or more chronic conditions expected to last at least 12 months. This service involves comprehensive care planning, regular monitoring, medication management, and coordination among multiple providers to improve health outcomes. CCM programs typically include 24/7 access to care teams, electronic health record management, and regular check-ins to prevent complications and reduce hospitalizations.

Why chronic care management matters

• Improves health outcomes: Proactive monitoring and intervention prevent complications
• Reduces hospitalizations: Regular care coordination helps avoid emergency situations
• Enhances quality of life: Comprehensive support helps patients better manage their conditions
