Physician Benefits

While Chronic Care Management (CCM) and Remote Patient Monitoring (RPM) can offer numerous benefits to the patients using these services, they are also advantageous for physicians to offer and use, providing the following benefits.

Increased Revenue

Offering CCM at your practice is an excellent way to increase revenue. Numerous patients are eligible for this type of care, and offering it means that your current patients can receive this care while also enticing prospective patients, increasing your practice’s patient volume.

Better Patient Outcomes

Physicians understand better than anyone just how essential proper care is for those with multiple chronic conditions. In addition, physicians see first-hand how difficult it can be for those with chronic conditions to juggle all medical-related components, negatively impacting their health.

Offering CCM services ensures that your patients who need the most help get the assistance they need, improving their health and outcomes.

Research has continually shown the benefits that CCM offers patients beyond their physical health; it also helps to keep their encouragement up and provides patients the means to take greater control of their health, two components that are essential for long-term success.

RPM is another beneficial service that allows you, as the physician, to better understand your patients health, which can provide a significant benefit in their care.

Streamlined Care Coordination

Patients with chronic conditions often visit multiple doctors across various specialties. While this helps ensure that all areas of their health are looked after, seeing this many doctors makes care coordination all the more important, an area that can lack without CCM.

One of the most significant benefits of CCM is that the chronic care manager gathers and shares all medical information with each doctor working with the patient, ensuring that all doctors have up-to-date and conclusive information about the patient.

This complete picture of the patient’s care and health allows the physician to better care for the patient and produce favorable outcomes.

Easy Monitoring

RPM offers a way for physicians to keep a closer eye on their patients and receive an alert should any of their vital signs reach unfavorable levels.

With RPM, physicians can more easily monitor their patients without keeping them in the office for continual evaluation. In addition, frequent monitoring means that the next time the patient comes into the office, the physician can see a complete picture of their health, not just a single snapshot taken at the office. This full picture allows the physician to provide better care for the patient.

Improved Patient Satisfaction

One of the greatest components of patient satisfaction is feeling that their physician cares for their well-being, and when patients feel like they are just another name on a list, they are less likely to stick with the practice. With CCM, patients see that their physician is actively involved in their care and an additional supporter of their care, which increases satisfaction immensely.
