Importance of CCM during Covid-19
We believe that an crucial part of proper Chronic Care Management During COVID-19 will be COVID-19 education and best practice procedures.
At Vigilance Health, we understand how daunting CCM, and meeting Medicaids requirements for reimbursement can be. Not only is it daunting to meet the minimum required patient to care manager benchmarks, but also to meet the chronic care staffing necessary to treat each patient. Not to mention the time and resources dedicated to train each and every care manager. With one wrong move, you could loose the reimbursement revenue needed to fund such a program, and a great opportunity to treat patients can quickly turn into a unnecessary burden.

Some of my patients are dealing with a wide range of emotions and anxiety caused by this COVID Pandemic. They are the most at-risk population and this isolation is being hard on them. I am able to comfort them and easy the worries they have. #HealthcareHeroes #populationhealth #caringduringCOVID19
One of my patients was very happy for my call during this COVID19 crisis. He was recently diagnosed with a heart condition in addition to DMII, he must be very cautious taking care of himself. He was relieved when I told him that physicians are taking visits over the phone as he is now able to continue to communicate with his doctor out of the comfort and safety of his own home. #westandready #raisethebar #telehealth
A patient of mine had open heart surgery and was recently diagnosed with prostate cancer. He lives alone and does his own grocery shopping. I helped arrange home grocery delivery. I feel grateful to be a part of the care solution in this COVID crisis. #HealthcareHeroes #populationhealth #caringduringCOVID19
My patient say I am helping them as they live alone and do not have anyone to talk to or help coordinate their care. They enjoy our scheduled calls as we discuss their health goals and other conservations unrelated to their goals. I am happy to do this work as my patients and I built a relationship that I am proud of. I am delighted when my patients thank me for calling them and keeping them informed while this COVID Pandemic is happening. #covidvirus #populationhealth #flattenthecurve
Care Management affects me because I feel personally responsible for providing useful information and guidance to our Medicare Population in this time of need. I do this work because I am very fond of my patients and I enjoy working to improve their health. My patients say I am helping them by being a consistent in their care. I have earning their trust which allows them to entrust me with the obstacles relating to their health goals. Often many patients do not have someone outside of the clinic medically equipped to help provide support required to do that next step to better their health. #HealthcareHeroes #populationhealth #caringduringCOVID19
I help eliminate the challenges my patients are facing in this state of emergency. As a manager I mostly step in when matters need to be escalated to our partner clinics. Doing my work in this Pandemic has brought me much joy as our patients are the most at-risk population who must stay at home. #RaiseTheBar #telehealthvisits #healthcareheroes
I am thankful that I get to work to help the most at-risk population. To do my part and ensure that patients are in our CCM program fills me with job. I am proud that I can make a difference by helping clinics indirectly as I am in the billing department. #flattenthecurve #healthcareheroes #westandready
Spoke to a patient who was very happy that someone from the clinic was taking the time to call to see how she was doing in this bizarre time. She had stomach surgery when this COVID 19 crisis began and was frightened. She was hesitant to have this surgery but decided to continue with the procedure. I was happy to hear that a simple call helped ease her worry. #covidvirus #populationhealth #caringduringCOVID19
CCM Program is extremely important during this pandemic. One of my patients was scared to visit her doctor’s office as she was having a flare up with a chronic condition. I was able to comfort her and schedule a telemedicine visit with her PCP. Prior to my call she did not know that a non-face to face meeting was possible. I am filled with joy by helping to inform patient of options they have in these unprecedented times. #populationhealth #caringduringCOVID19
CCM is an amazing program that benefits the most at-risk population at this public health emergency. I ensure my patients follow their physician’s directives by help them with any challenges to achieve these goals. I feel grateful knowing I can help even one patient with enrolling them in the CCM Program. #caringduringCOVID19 #telehealthvisits
Care Management is important as we assist Clinics to reach out to each and every most at-risk patient in this COVID Crisis. On my calls I find out that many patients do not have family or friend support for shopping or medication pickups. Some are eating fast food daily and I help arrange hot meal doorstep delivery as well as set up Medication home drop offs. Some are scared to attend their follow up visits, so I help set up a Telehealth visit. #RaiseTheBar #telehealthvisits
One of my patients recently had a kidney transplant and was extremely worried about her health in this terrifying Pandemic. The surgery went well with no rejection signs. She was happy that she no longer needs to go out into the world for dialysis in this scary time. I helped arrange medication and food delivery so she could stay safe in her home. #flattenthecurve #healthcareheroes #westandready
COVID19 precautions and gaps in care are our focus with our most at-risk population. One of my patients had questions on why we are social distancing and I explained that individuals who are asymptomatic may be carriers of the virus, but you would not know. She felt better knowing it was for her protection, health, and safety. . #HealthcareHeroes #populationhealth #caringduringCOVID19
My role as a Care Manager Lead is to break down barriers and bridge gaps for our patients. What CCM does is extremely important in our current Healthcare crisis. More patients are scared as they are told to stay home. I help arrange delivery of food, medication, and other critical items our most at-risk population needs. I feel so blessed to have the ability aid our patients in this COVID Pandemic. #HealthcareHeroes #populationhealth #caringduringCOVID19
Care Management is an important career in our society and has escalated in our current COVID environment. Care Managers help reduce patient distress and management of their health conditions. I feel very satisfied to work during this COVID crisis as it supports many people in a time of need. #covidvirus #populationhealth #caringduringCOVID19
Care Management affects me personally by the impact I have on my patients lives. I am a listening ear for them when they feel that no one is listening. Knowing I am their support system is very rewarding and makes me feel good. They tell me how much they appreciate the work that I do for them, it means a lot to me. #covidvirus #telehealth #helpinghands
Working in CCM has changed my perspective about healthcare and helped me grow as an individual. I do this work because I care about people and their wellbeing. At the end of the everyday I leave the office happy knowing I helped take good care of my patients and it make me feel great. The world has been shifted so much since the COVID-19 pandemic, if we take it one step at a time, we will see the impact CCM has toward the solution. #populationhealth #caringduringCOVID19

The CCM work I do make an impact during this pandemic because it allows our staff to continue provide care to the most at-risk patients during a critical time. CCM is important especially now, because the nature of a non-face to face service ensures patients can safely receive healthcare in the comfort of their own home. Educating patients about the importance of staying home to avoid risking exposure to COVID-19 is one of the most important essential forms of work that needs to be done to prevent hospitals and other healthcare facilities from being overwhelmed. #covidvirus #populationhealth #flattenthecurve
I am happy to help my patients in this traumatic time. Many of them do not watch the news and are not aware of the escalating COVID crisis I can offer proper guidelines. Countless patients fear COVID as they are most at-risk population. I reinforce that I am here for them 24/7 let them know we are here for them. My patients tell me they really appreciate my calls since they haven’t talk to someone in a long time and some do not have family. With just a simple call I can make them feel good, supported, connected and not alone. #flattenthecurve #healthcareheroes #westandready

Patients are feeling much stress from this COVID Shock. I support them by managing their stress and anxiety with different techniques. I always check to see if they have family support in the home and if not, I try to call them more often. This is only one way that Care Management helps the most at-risk population. #flattenthecurve #healthcareheroes #caringduringCOVID19
Patients are very appreciative for the COVID-19 information we are providing. I encouraged all elderly patients to stay safe at home. I made sure they have help to get food or medications and if not, I help to set up deliveries. I educated patients on the proper way to washer their hands and the importance of good hand washing. As well as reinforcing the CDC COVID-19 Guidelines. People need to hear information from healthcare professionals, so they take the information seriously. It is important to let my patients know what to do if they think they have the COVID-19 virus. I love being part of the solution. #flattenthecurve #healthcareheroes #westandready
I enjoy explaining the 24/7 benefit of Care Management and hearing patients’ reactions to the program. They are thankful that we are here to help and support them especially during this COVID Crisis. Many patients appreciate the program as it is not liked a timed doctors visit. We spend quality time answering their questions and helping them stay on top of their chronic conditions. I do this work because I love being in the health industry, talking in depth to patients about their needs brings me joy. #covidvirus #populationhealth #flattenthecurve
