| The Next Generation of Disease Management: 2009 and Beyond |
With chronic-care programs already well-established in most health plans, DM is becoming more targeted, more integrated with other programs including wellness and lifestyle coaching, and more focused on the bottom line. The Next Generation of Disease Management: 2009 and Beyond brings expert insight into DM’s basic building blocks, including:
-
Planning for a successful implementation
-
Deciding whether to build or buy programs
-
Integrating care coordination
-
Motivating enrollees to change behaviors
-
Leveraging technology
-
Using predictive modeling
-
Measuring results
-
Targeting specific groups, such as large commercial employers and Medicare Advantage members
Hear from industry experts (see authors below) and get answers to questions such as:
- Will predictive models move from identifying which patients are likely to be high cost, to determining which of several intervention strategies may be most effective?
- Will DM programs embrace “smart” technology to monitor everything from patients’ vital signs and heart rhythms to what kind of food and exercise choices they make?
- Will the “build” versus “buy” debate disappear as most programs become hybrids of the two models?
- Will DM programs in the future focus efforts on entire populations, rather than only the chronically ill?
