ARCHIVED WEBINAR

Disease management is dead, your clinicians are overwhelmed, and you’re headed toward value-based reimbursement.

How to use group proven learning/behavioral change dynamics and digital support to manage patients with chronic conditions

Recorded December 2015

Over 50% of U.S. patients have one or more chronic conditions — such as diabetes, obesity, or cardiovascular disease — and growing. Just the most common chronic diseases cost $2 trillion annually, and yet the solution has been elusive. With one foot in fee-for-service and another in value-based reimbursement, the challenges to health care organizations and payers are monumental. The obvious approach is to get patients to take responsibility for their health care choices, but that is a daunting task — until you understand the educational, emotional, and behavioral aspects of that change, and have an integrated delivery mechanism that delivers proven results.

Join us for this webinar, and you will learn how that powerful combination solves the clinical, behavioral, and financial challenges that accompany treating chronic condition patients — all while improving patient satisfaction and loyalty, and improving outcomes and the bottom line. 

What you’ll learn:

• Understanding why today’s disease management approaches don’t work
• Why providers are asked to do more for patients with chronic condition
• How chronic condition behavioral change programs differ from disease management
• The fundamentals of behavioral change in chronic condition management
• What efficacy studies show truly works in behavioral change for patients with chronic conditions
• The bottom line: the economics of patient engagement and chronic condition education
• How to empower patients to believe in themselves, know what they need and take action
• Leveraging in-person plus digital support and why it works
• How case studies show outcomes improvement
• Understand the short and long-term business opportunity for your organization
