Managing Care for Patients with Chronic Conditions
Easily coordinate the care of your patients with chronic conditions
Seamless Collaboration for Better Outcomes
The 2018 NHIS survey found that 51.8% of U.S. adults have been diagnosed with at least one chronic condition, with 27.2% being diagnosed with two or more chronic conditions. Patients with chronic conditions need large, interdisciplinary care teams, and they require continuous care plans and frequent appointments to monitor their health. This level of coordination can be difficult, but it doesn’t have to be.
CareAlign’s Task Management, Data Visualization and Documentation modules enable seamless collaboration among interdisciplinary teams. The shared task list and real-time updates to the care plan allow everyone to be on the same page and ensure all steps are taken to provide the patient with the best care.
Enhance Collaboration
Patients with chronic conditions may see their PCP and specialists multiple times a year. A study of patients with diabetes showed that 70% of respondents had at least 4 outpatient visits with physicians over the last year, with nearly half going to at least 6 appointments1. CareAlign is designed for physicians, nurses, APPs, therapists, and other clinicians so that everyone is on the same page and can provide the best care for the patient’s ongoing conditions.
Reduce Errors
Data shows that 80% of serious medical errors involve miscommunication among care teams2 . CareAlign improves collaboration by providing a single digital platform that each clinician can access with real-time updates and the latest data. This has translated into fewer errors, with 75% of clinicians reporting that CareAlign has prevented errors in their practice.
Increase Efficiency
On average, physicians work 13.5 hours each week on tasks other than direct patient care3. Coordinating care and providing prompt updates to documentation is time-consuming and frustrating. With CareAlign, 81% of clinicians say the platform saves them at least an hour each day, giving them more time to focus on the many patients they see each clinic day.

INTEROPERABLE DATA
Shared, Collaborative Task List
Managing a patient’s chronic conditions requires an interdisciplinary group of clinicians to work together on a patient’s care plan. Instead of each team member working off their own siloed lists, CareAlign provides a shared, dynamic task list that everyone can use to ensure that all steps of a care plan are completed. This makes sure nothing falls through the cracks, improving the patient’s outcomes and health.
Documentation Module
CareAlign’s progress note tool eliminates double and triple documentation – cutting administrative tasks in half – by combining all lists and notes into one plan. CareAlign allows clinicians to edit their plan throughout the day to capture more diagnoses and relevant information when they do not have time to finish charting right after an appointment. This information is updated in real-time, so if a patient sees multiple clinicians in one day, each clinician has the most up-to-date information. With a simple step, CareAlign’s plan can then be imported into the EHR as an electronic note, or printed and placed in a paper chart, accommodating all workflows.
Predictive Data Visualization During Appointments
Designed by clinicians for clinicians, CareAlign’s intuitive views of critical patient data – such as vitals, labs, meds and more – reduces errors by making it easier to surface critical data at the point of care. Instead of spending limited patient time searching through the EHR, clinicians can easily access information on a mobile or web platform, giving them the full picture of a patient’s data and providing a visual for patients when explaining the care plan next steps.
