Improve Member Health and Reduce Healthcare Costs With Preventive Care Management

The lives of far too many people in the world are impacted by chronic conditions such as heart disease, stroke, cancer, chronic respiratory diseases and diabetes. Six in 10 adults in the U.S. have a chronic disease while 4 in 10 adults live with two or more chronic diseases. Chronic diseases are also the leading drivers for the $3.5 trillion in annual healthcare costs. Federal and state healthcare agencies, as well as health plans, have created initiatives to control and manage the prevalence of chronic conditions among the population.

Chronic care treatments can be expensive due to the time and resources involved in treating patients. By advocating proactive measures, such as promoting healthy behaviors, your health plan can potentially avoid spend on high-cost treatments while providing a positive patient experience. Advanced technology also offers innovative ways to reduce the costs associated with chronic care treatments while focusing on better member care.
