Chronic Care Management

Cherie Craig RN and Donna Sage RN talked to the Nashville Rotary club on Wednesday about chronic care management. The goal is to help patients develop plans, including self management, and provide another level of care that can prevent visits to the emergency room. The care can help minimize and prevent damage for patients with chronic conditions like high blood pressure, diabetes, or cancer. Physicians on the Howard Memorial Hospital campus hope that participation in the Comprehensive Primary Care Plus program can help to strengthen primary care.
