Chronic Disease Management – What’s Next in Health

Background

Chronic diseases pose an increasing burden to the healthcare system. In addition to their impact on individual health, the costs of care for chronic conditions are enormous. If your organization is at financial risk for costs of care, optimizing management of chronic diseases is a critical priority.
Microsoft Amalga and Microsoft HealthVault, together with InstantPHR¹ (IPHR), help you identify populations of chronic disease patients, track and manage those patients, and promote effective patient self-management.

Overview

Using Amalga, HealthVault, and IPHR¹, you can develop standardized care plans for high-priority conditions, identify the populations of patients with those conditions, share those care plans with patients, and let your providers or care management staff personalize the care plans for individual patients where appropriate. Your providers, care managers, and patients can stay connected with a set of easy-to-use web tools and connected devices. Clinical staff can remotely monitor relevant readings and proactively reach out to the patient if concerns arise. Your patients will feel informed, empowered, and even liberated.

Features & Benefits

Microsoft Amalga makes it easy to define patient cohorts and apply a care plan. Amalga connects with a web portal that enables you to connect directly with your patients on an on-going basis. With these tools you can:
  • Flag chronic disease sufferers and those at risk.
  • Personalize the patient’s care plan as appropriate.
  • Share the care plan and associated monitoring tools with the patient online.
  • Remotely monitor patients to track adherence, readings, and self-care.
  • Leverage alternative care delivery models to avoid hospital admissions.
Your patients will also benefit from:
  • Tools to help manage their conditions
  • Online communication with their physicians
  • Guidance to manage their own conditions confidently
  • Resources to help avoid adverse events
