THE OBJECTIVE:

Efficiency, Revenue, and Patient Satisfaction: The ChronicCareIQ Impact

The primary objective centered on increasing care quality for patients, reducing staff burdens, and integrating our CCM program with a leading telephony platform. For our patient care, the focus was on establishing a direct connection with patients and their healthcare team. The aim was to leverage technology to gather a better understanding of the chronically ill patients’ health. This approach would not only address immediate health concerns but also empower patients to actively participate in their care as well as overall improvement.
