The platform automates clinical documentation, enables real-time monitoring, and generates Medicare billing records for compliant reimbursement.
CGM Integration for Senior Living CCM with athenahealth
CGM Integration brings a distinct advantage to CCM programs in senior living communities. Dexcom G7 sensors measure interstitial glucose levels every 5 minutes via a small sensor inserted just beneath the skin, providing 288 readings per day without fingersticks. Combined with CCN Health's athenahealth integration, residents benefit from continuous monitoring without additional care staff burden.
Why CGM Integration for Senior Living
Senior Living communities serve independent and assisted living residents aged 65+ who value autonomy while benefiting from proactive health monitoring. CGM Integration is particularly relevant because:
- Continuous data (288 readings/day) vs. 2-4 fingerstick readings
- Real-time trend arrows showing glucose direction and speed of change
- Automated alerts for hypo/hyperglycemia before symptoms appear
How CGM Integration Works
Dexcom G7 sensors measure interstitial glucose levels every 5 minutes via a small sensor inserted just beneath the skin, providing 288 readings per day without fingersticks.
Data Captured
- Real-time glucose levels
- Glucose trends and rate of change
