Oaklawn announces Chronic Care Mangement partnership with CareHarmony

Oaklawn is proud to announce its partnership with CareHarmony, a Chronic Care Management services provider focused on empowering patients to better manage their chronic conditions. The Medicare-sponsored care coordination program is designed to give patients greater support and access to care between office visits, even while at home.

Chronic Care Management extends patient care outside the four walls of a physician’s practice to ensure an added layer of support for chronic conditions such as arthritis, diabetes, depression, or high blood pressure. Eligible patients can benefit by receiving monthly telephone assistance from CareHarmony’s dedicated Care Coordinators, who are specially trained to tailor treatment to each patient’s individual needs, including:

• Assistance with scheduling appointments, lab tests or other tests
• Explaining how and when to take medications
• Coordinating home health or medical equipment needs
• Connecting patients with health education resources, services and programs
• Identifying available community resources
• Coordinating follow-up care after leaving the hospital
• Accessing other support services to help promote health and wellness

“Oaklawn is partnering with CareHarmony as they are a verified and trusted partner to assist in implementing our Chronic Care Management service,” says Zach Chapman, Executive Director of Oaklawn Medical Group. “This partnership will benefit our patients by taking a proactive approach to the healthcare needs of our patients. It will assist by enabling our physicians to better manage patients between office visits.”

In addition, patients enrolled in the program are granted access to a 24/7/365 Care Coordinator Line to help answer any questions and provide additional assistance. CareHarmony’s team will reach out to eligible patients by phone to explain the service, answer any questions, and help them enroll in the program.
