Chronic Care Management: Services Your Patients Need

Chronic care management services help those with chronic diseases receive extra, ongoing support that improves short- and long-term health and wellness. I'm sure we're all aware of the American way of life the one where many of us actively partake in regular bad habits like smoking, drinking, consuming unhealthy foods, and look past our largely inactive lifestyles where only about 23% of us actually get the recommended 150 minutes of aerobic and muscle-strengthening exercise per week. While the impact of these not-so-great choices may be out of sight and therefore out of mind for younger people, the reality is that the delayed effects are just a ticking time-bomb of chronic disease waiting to happen. Unfortunately, about 40% of all adults in the United States suffer from two or more chronic diseases, with the majority of those diseases linking back to choices concerning poor lifestyle habits in our younger years.
