Disease Management - Healthydirections®
The Healthydirections® program targets chronic diseases that drive high cost utilization and where patient knowledge and involvement can impact those outcomes. A collaborative effort between the participant, physician and our disease case managers strives to:
- Improve quality of life and medical outcomes
- Optimize the overall use of health care resources
- Reduce health care expenses
Participants are educated about their disease so that they can make informed health care decisions and stay healthy. By learning to seek appropriate medical care and developing healthy habits, participants can avoid unnecessary ER visits, hospitalizations and other related services.
