Chronic Disease Management (CDM) is a comprehensive approach to identifying patients with chronic diseases and improving their health. Our Chronic Disease Management Program is a collaborative effort with United Physician members and their staffs in providing comprehensive care to their patients with these diseases through the use of best practice models, training and education in self management techniques and the use of community resources. The Chronic Disease Management Program will be the catalyst for achieving the goals of creating informed activated patients managing their own care under the guidance of a prepared, proactive team. Our goal is to provide physicians with resources and information to assist them in treating their chronic disease patients.
The Chronic Disease Management team focuses on the following conditions: asthma, chronic kidney disease, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, chronic bronchitis, emphysema, congestive heart failure, systolic heart failure, diastolic heart failure, coronary artery disease and diabetes.
Also, UP has pharmacists on staff who work with area practices. They pick up where the doctor leaves off, spending more time with patients to explain their conditions, helping manage medications, and talking about ways to get healthier.
