California Health Care Foundation Releases More Information on Chronic Disease Management
Quoting from the press release:
Chronic disease management systems (CDMS) focus specifically on managing chronic disease and preventive care, while the more comprehensive electronic medical record (EMR) documents the entire patient encounter and provides real-time patient information. A new report, IT Tools for Chronic Disease Management: How Do They Measure Up?, examines the comparative value of these two systems. The report finds that CDMSs scored higher in product function and are significantly less expensive. EMRs received higher ratings based on vendor services and technology, while the two shared similar scores for corporate qualifications.
The new report, entitled "IT Tools for chronic disease management: How do they measure up?" is authored by Laura Jantos and Michelle Holmes of ECG Management Consultants. They interviewed vendors, examined their products, and created a scoring system.
