Schedule a DemoHundreds of facilities just like yours have grown their Principal Care Management programs with CCN Health. Let us show you how.
CCN Health provides a certified Principal Care Management (PCM) integration with Ethizo designed specifically for independent living communities, featuring cgm integration technology. The platform automates clinical documentation, enables real-time monitoring, and generates Medicare billing records for compliant reimbursement.
CGM Integration for Independent Living PCM with Ethizo
For independent living communities running PCM through Ethizo, cgm integration addresses a critical need: engaging residents who consider themselves healthy in monitoring programs. 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.
Why CGM Integration for Independent Living
Independent Living communities serve active seniors who live independently but may have emerging chronic conditions that benefit from early monitoring and preventive care. 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
- Time-in-range metrics
- Hypoglycemia and hyperglycemia alerts
- Overnight glucose patterns
Benefits for Independent Living Communities
Wellness-Focused
Positioned as proactive wellness technology rather than medical monitoring, encouraging adoption.
Early Detection
Catch emerging conditions before they require assisted living or skilled nursing transitions.
Minimal Disruption
Sensorless and simple-to-use devices require no lifestyle changes or technical skill.
CGM Integration vs. Traditional Approaches
| Factor | CGM | Traditional |
|---|---|---|
| Readings Per Day | 288 (every 5 min) | 2-4 fingersticks |
| Trend Data | Real-time direction arrows | Point-in-time only |
| Overnight Monitoring | Continuous | Requires wake-up checks |
| Patient Comfort | Small sensor, changed every 10 days | Fingerstick lancets daily |
| Alert Capability | Predictive high/low alerts | Only at time of test |
Common Conditions in Independent Living
- hypertension
- pre-diabetes
- weight management
- fall prevention
- sleep quality
- early cardiac concerns
