Chronic Care Management for Independent Living with Epic
Implementing CCM in independent living settings requires an integration that understands both the clinical needs of active seniors who live independently but may have emerging chronic conditions that benefit from early monitoring and preventive care and the workflows of Epic. CCN Health bridges this gap.
