Disease Management

I think we could speak via phone and cover more ground than a number of e-mails. I am a consultant in Disease Managment and would be happy to speak with you about your needs and an opportunity to work with you and help you get started, As you can imagine, there is a lot to learn and understand about DM to create an affective program. You can go to DiseaseManagementConsulting.com and respond to the info section and I can respond to you in a confidential manner. DM

I think I can help you with this opportunity. If you care to respond back to me, I can share some of my 4 1/2 years of experience in DM. Thanks DM

The only accredited one is the Chronic Care Professional certification at www.healthsciences.org. I recently completed this program and it was extremely benefical. Great content and which I can apply each day at work. I wish I would have completed this when I started in DM over 4 years ago. Better than the training I got with my employer which is a very big DM company. I would highly recommend completing this program.

Roseorchid, I am new to AllNurses and found your questions about DM very intersesting. I am curious to know if you are wrting a paper? I would love to know what the outcomes are and what the issues in the industry. Thanks DM

There is a DM certification called the CCP-Chronic Care Professional certification. You can go to the www.healthsciences.org wesbite and learn about it there. I am completing it now and it is a very in depth and thorough program. I really like the eLearning site that you have access to with the manual and I can use the manual at work. Let me know if you have any more questions and maybe I can help you with them. Have a great day. Disease Management

i have been in dm for over 4 years and really like the industry of dm/population health management/ coaching and look forward to seeing the results of this audit. 1. what kind of nursing were you doing before going into disease management? i was in ed nursing. 2. describe your current or past disease management work environment. i work in a call center for a very large dmo that provides diabetes, cardiac, asthma, copd and 11 other medical condition education. 3. what are or were the drawbacks? i think the calling strategies of a call center-makes members seem like we are telmarketers. 4. what are or were the stressors? metrics and meeting sometimes impractical expectations of plans and customers. 5. did you come up with any successful techniques for dealing with these drawbacks and stressors?(please elaborate) not yet but working with really good nurses that are friends really helps. 6. what are or were the positive aspects of you disease management role? i truly believe in the chronic care model as opposed to the acute care model and that is what keeps in the field. 7. are you considering leaving disease management? why? no i am considering going deeper into the field and starting my own company. 8. if you already left, why? no 9. what area of nursing did you go to? n/a 10. what would have motivated you to stay? i think there needs to be a career path in this area and certifaction. i recenty found that certification on a website (www.healthsciences.org) for a ccp-chronic care professional certifaction program. 11. how long have you been in or were you in disease management? for over 4 years
