Improving personal health and resolving challenges that members may be facing is easier with a team by their side.
The Personal Health Management Program is an integrated behavioral and medical condition management program that teaches members how to manage their health conditions day-to-day and over the long term. It is available at no cost to EOCCO members for up to 12 months. The program focuses on the most vulnerable populations, including multi-chronic patients with psychosocial issues that affect their ability to follow treatments plans, access appropriate care, and make lifestyle changes.
Working closely with a team of licensed behavioral health clinicians and also physicians, participating members can:
- Learn how to communicate more effectively with their doctor and arrive more prepared for their doctor visits
- Make fewer unplanned calls to the office
- Achieve higher treatment adherence rates
- Have a decrease in emergency room visits and admissions
- Connect and follow through with community resource referrals
Working together to manage their health
Participating members work with a personal clinician to better understand their health. Through regular phone calls, members get tools and learn techniques to manage their health. They also work with an outreach coordinator, who is a local resource that builds collaborative working relationships to support the clinical process between the patient and the personal clinician. The outreach coordinator also connects patients with community resources and contacts for support.
Impact of the program
There are measurable results from participating in the Personal Health Management Program. The efforts that will be made to impact the patient’s life include:- 8-12 sessions over 9-12 months
