Have fun to help de-stress
Experts recommend regular exercise, meditation and breathing techniques to reduce stress, but even something as simple as listening to soothing music, reading a good book, soaking in a hot tub or playing with your pet can help you relax. Prolonged stress can cause or exacerbate a number of health problems including heart disease, stroke, hypertension, depression, ulcers, irritable bowel syndrome, migraines and obesity.
Keys to Success
Through creative management in a Patient Centered Medical Home Model, including team based disease management, health coaching, diet/nutrition, counseling, smoking cessation, exercise and close observation, this initiative will actively engage patients in maintaining their own health, and thereby offer employers and insurance providers a distinctive and innovative choice for their most expensive employees.
Chronicare is:
Proactive
Our approach includes a health risk appraisal that integrates directly with a physician-supervised personal health management plan and timely health coaching support. Patient compliance with clinical therapeutic regimens is monitored; progress toward health goals is facilitated.Accessible
The patient will remain under the care of their primary care physician, using their office as the medical home. This helps to ensure that patient trust and continuity is maintained.Affordable
The business value of a healthy working population is priceless. Patients, who complete a health risk appraisal, participate in health coaching, follow clinically recommended health regimens to treat their conditions and engage in health promotion activities will ultimately cost less to both the employer and the health plan provider.Accountable
Chronicare is designed to motivate people to lead healthier lives and to take a preventive approach to healthcare. Our physicians are partners in this initiative making them invested and committed stakeholders.
