Chronic Condition Management (CCM)

Living with chronic health conditions can be challenging, but at DrHouse, we make managing your health easier, more accessible, and more effective.

Our chronic condition management (CCM) services are designed to provide personalized, coordinated care for individuals with long-term health needs. This includes direct access to a dedicated nurse care manager who can help you manage your conditions, and coordinate with providers, pharmacies, and anything else you need.

From creating tailored care plans to leveraging advanced technologies like remote patient monitoring (RPM), DrHouse offers a seamless experience to help you lead a healthier, more confident life.

What is chronic condition management?

Chronic condition management, or CCM, is a specialized healthcare approach designed to support individuals living with two or more chronic conditions that are expected to last at least 12 months or for the rest of their lives.

These conditions can include illnesses such as diabetes, hypertension, arthritis, or heart disease, which require consistent monitoring and care to maintain overall health and well-being.

CCM goes beyond simply treating symptoms. It addresses the whole person, offering ongoing support, personalized care plans, and easy access to medical professionals who understand the complexities of managing long-term illnesses.

With this approach, patients receive coordinated care tailored to their unique needs, improving their quality of life and preventing complications.

Through CCM, patients can actively manage their conditions by regularly consulting healthcare providers, tracking their progress, and accessing preventive care that helps mitigate risks before they escalate.

At DrHouse, we take this a step further by offering CCM services entirely virtually. This means you can receive expert care, collaborate with licensed doctors, and manage your health—all from the comfort and convenience of your home.

Is CCM right for you?

CCM is an excellent option for individuals who need ongoing medical support for chronic conditions.

If you’re living with two or more long-term illnesses that require regular care, CCM can help you stay organized, healthy, and informed. Conditions such as diabetes, heart disease, arthritis, and depression often need more than just occasional doctor visits—they require a coordinated, continuous approach.

You might benefit from CCM if you find it difficult to manage your symptoms, require frequent prescription adjustments, or need help staying on track with preventive care. With DrHouse, our team works alongside you to simplify the complexities of managing chronic conditions.

Remote patient monitoring: enhancing your CCM experience

One of the key features of DrHouse’s CCM services is the integration of remote patient monitoring (RPM). RPM allows us to bring your healthcare to the next level by combining technology with personalized care.

Using connected devices, we can track vital health metrics such as blood pressure, blood glucose levels, and oxygen saturation—all from the comfort of your home.

This data is automatically shared with your care team, providing real-time insights into your health. If anything unusual is detected, your doctor can intervene promptly, potentially preventing complications before they arise. By incorporating RPM into your care plan, we make proactive health management simple and effective.

While remote patient monitoring (RPM) significantly enhances care for many patients, it may not be available for all individuals or applicable for every condition. The use of RPM devices should always be discussed with your health provider, as factors like device compatibility, technology access, and specific health conditions can influence its efficacy.

DrHouse’s team of licensed doctors and healthcare providers will assess its suitability on a case-by-case basis to ensure it meets your personalized care needs. Ultimately, RPM is a tool to aid in chronic care management, and its effectiveness depends on individual circumstances and professional guidance.
