As you probably know, insurance companies have begun to reshape the ambulatory care system. They are revising health plans, provider networks, and seeking broader coverage for subscribers. We are in urgent need for feasible methods of delivering sustainable interventions to chronically ill populations.
The chronically ill have a higher severity of life issues which require more intense services. People need care that builds confidence in managing chronic health problems. They need support to keep doing the things they enjoy, to follow through on prescribed treatments, and to remain physically active.
Integrated Health Management's programs and information architecture offer the industry's only care model designed to deliver end-to-end fitness and lifestyle management solutions for individuals with chronic illnesses. High-tech and in compliance with the highest clinical standards, our condition-specific protocols can be incorporated into traditional wellness programs or stand alone.
For referring physicians and their chronically ill patients in pursuit of optimum health, the limitations of fitness center services has long been the "weak-link" in the traditional health care continuum. Until now !
Our 5-Point System is one of coordinated fitness and health care interventions for populations with major conditions like: Diabetes, Heart Disease or Asthma, and impact conditions like Hypertension, Back Care and Overweight.
What We Can Do For You
In our model, fitness centers serve multiple purposes, use improved diagnostic tools and improved information systems to better utilize provider resources and deliver more of the right services to the right people at the right time. In addition to screening and physical capacity testing, fitness centers are also home to Phase II thru IV cardiac rehabilitation and other disease management support programs.
Using fitness facilities and the internet as portals, needs-based "personal health management solutions" can be delivered to patients in a scalable manner. We can connect with employers, health plans, insurance beneficiaries, physicians and their patients to improve outcomes and reduce costs of care by:
- supporting patients' care goals at the point of service
- providing customized, multi-tiered fitness strategies
- providing ongoing data tracking and progress reporting
