Question |
| |
What will the Chronic Care Improvement Programs do? |
|
| |
Answer |
| |
Each program will offer self-care guidance and support to chronically ill beneficiaries to help them manage their health, adhere to their physicians’ plans of care, and ensure that they seek (or obtain) medical care that they need to reduce their health risks. The programs will include collaboration with participants’ providers to enhance communication of relevant clinical information. The programs are intended to help increase adherence to evidence-based care, reduce unnecessary hospital stays and emergency room visits, and help participants avoid costly and debilitating complications. CMS will test models that use a wide variety of interventions to bring about improvements in clinical quality, satisfaction and reduced costs.
