Disease management software, also known as care management or chronic disease management software, optimizes and connects care processes to effectively manage ongoing health conditions. Disease management software is built to connect to EHR and other health care data sources to manage, monitor, and process patient data. Disease management software is used by hospitals, clinics, and other health care practices to engage, educate, and treat patients. Disease management software automates and simplifies complex tasks such as follow-up care authorization, lab test review, and treatment planning.
To qualify for inclusion in the Disease Management category, a product must:
Unify EHR data with data pulled from aggregate sources (e.g., lab results) to create a complete picture of patient health
Analyze patient data for optimized care coordination and patient engagement
Leverage and engage with patient experience software, telemedicine, and other relevant pieces of technology
