Chronic Disease Management

Rural Health IT has worked with top clinicians and specialists across the country to develop a robust, validated, world-class technological solution for disease management.

Patients with chronic illnesses such as diabetes see a marked improvement in their quality of life, management of their disease, and general outlook while working within a disease management program.

Hospitals and medical organizations realize lower costs associated with providing preventative care instead of emergency care. This solution works and is a win for everyone.

Our Multi-Step Approach:

Determines the requirements for a disease management program, including goals, data collection and management, treatments that will be included, and the level at which this CDM will be managed.
Identifies key measures for each condition including individual tests, schedules, and actions to take when test results are returned out of normal bounds.
Works with key personnel at every level of the organization including physicians, mid-level practitioners, nurses, and allied health professionals.
Implements technology to support the system, HIE, including Electronic Medical Records, access portals to information, and direct input by medical devices.
The distinction of Rural Health IT is the means by which we obtain funding for our clients and continue ongoing support for the program. This involves coordination and communication among:
- Local employers
- Pharmaceutical companies
- Technology vendors
- National, State, and local Quality
- Health Assurance Organizations
- Quality Health Performance Management solutions
- State and National Health Information Exchanges and Organizations
- State and Local stakeholders
- Payers
