Don't drink too many calories
It's easy to drink calories without noticing: that eggnog latte at Starbucks has nearly as many calories as a Big Mac. It's okay to have one as an occasional treat, but consider it a meal, not a drink.
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.
