Pfizer Health Solutions (PHS) has collaborated with health plans to provide successful care management programs for patients. These programs monitor the health of chronically ill patients and educate them about their condition. These programs also encourage patients to self-monitor and change their behavior to promote better health, while facilitating interaction with their physicians and other healthcare providers.
Care management can help manage some of the most common chronic diseases, including congestive heart failure, coronary artery disease, diabetes, and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease.
PHS programs successfully provide measurable improvements in clinical outcomes and the quality of care for patients suffering from these conditions. These programs also help reduce spending on healthcare services and provide adequate return on investment, proving to be a financially sound investment that is cost-effective for our clients.
