Chronic Care Management for Endocrinology with August Health
Endocrinology practices managing type 2 diabetes and type 1 diabetes can leverage CCN Health's CCM integration with August Health for disease-specific monitoring, automated documentation, and compliant billing.
Endocrinology Conditions Managed
- Type 2 diabetes
- Type 1 diabetes
- Metabolic syndrome
- Thyroid disorders
- Obesity management
CGM Integration for Endocrinology
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.
This technology is particularly valuable for endocrinology patients because it provides real-time glucose levels, glucose trends and rate of change, time-in-range metrics data that directly informs clinical decision-making.
Clinical Protocols
- Continuous glucose monitoring with time-in-range targets
- Threshold alerts for glucose < 70 or > 250 mg/dL
- Insulin dose adjustment based on CGM data
- Weight trending for metabolic syndrome management
Key Monitoring Metrics
| Metric | Clinical Significance |
|---|---|
| Blood glucose (fasting and postprandial) | Tracked and trended for endocrinology management |
| HbA1c trending | Tracked and trended for endocrinology management |
| CGM time-in-range | Tracked and trended for endocrinology management |
| Weight | Tracked and trended for endocrinology management |
| Blood pressure | Tracked and trended for endocrinology management |
Recommended Devices for Endocrinology
| Device | Use Case |
|---|---|
| Dexcom G7 CGM | Endocrinology monitoring |
| Blood glucose meter | Endocrinology monitoring |
| Weight scale | Endocrinology monitoring |
| Blood pressure monitor | Endocrinology monitoring |
Relevant ICD-10 Codes
- E11.x (Type 2 diabetes mellitus)
- E10.x (Type 1 diabetes mellitus)
- E66.x (Obesity)
- E03.x (Hypothyroidism)
Clinical Evidence
CGM-based RPM has been shown to improve time-in-range by 15-25% and reduce HbA1c by 0.5-1.0% in managed populations.
