Yet, the current structure of care management focuses on reacting to health issues and does not adequately anticipate patients' needs. As providers assume risk-based contracts, the abilities to shift to prospective care management allows care managers to more effectively meet the patient’s needs by integrating clinical data, lifestyle criteria and clinical pathways. On this episode Dan is joined by Dr. Riya Pulicharam and Kevin Zhao, as they delve into the limitations of the current care management process and discuss attributes essential to support enhanced patients outcomes while increasing care managers productivity. Gain valuable insights into how to optimize care pathways, leverage technology, and foster cultural change to ultimately achieve better outcomes.
