Managed Ecosystemâ„ for Integrated Obesity Treatment
Obesity PPM designs, executes, and administers a chronic disease management model for hospital systems that is patient-centered, individualized, and multi-disciplinary - serving as a new treatment pardigm for obesity and its related diseases such as type II diabetes.
We help you engage this important segment of the patients, focusing on treatment for obesity - the root cause of dozens of related diseases.
What Should an Obesity Treatment Model Look Like?
Clinical obesity experts have found effective approaches for treatment “under conditions where multidisciplinary teams of medical, nutrition, and behavioral experts and other highly trained professionals worked intensively with individuals on weight management...[the model was] foundational to additional weight management efforts, such as additional medications or bariatric surgery…[the model] also emphasized a fundamental principle of chronic disease management, i.e., the need to complement a committed patient with informed providers in order to effectively manage a chronic condition like obesity and its associated CVD [cardiovascular disease] risk factors.” (1)
“Given changes in the way healthcare is delivered and financed, teamwork today must encompass multiple clinical settings, where team members might not see or know each other… overcoming these challenges requires a system designed to support and facilitate collaboration…to improve outcomes and reduce costs.” (2) -- New England Journal of Medicine, 2014
Managed Ecosystemâ„ for Integrated Obesity Treatment
Specializing in obesity medicine and collaborating with strategic, health system partners, we design, execute, and administer the Managed Ecosystemâ„ for Integrated Obesity Treatment.
This chronic disease mangement model is patient-centered, individualized, and multi-disciplinary -- serving as a new treatment pardigm for obesity and its related diseases such as type II diabetes.
​
Anticipating multiple episodes of acute care throughout a patient's life, the Managed Ecosystemâ„ delivers the complete continuum of evidence-based treatments under a single public identity anchored by a regional healthcare delivery institution.
The power of this disease management model lives within the care coordination of a number of specialty providers who all treat obesity and its related metabolic diseases such as type II diabetes.
​
Integrating business and clinical processes, as well as coordinating contracting requirements, Obesity PPM provides the leadership and infrastructure to address the lifetime progression of this chronic disease among patients.
​
The weight loss journey for a bariatric patient with is life-long. By consistently and pro-actively reaching out to this population through individualized care plans and high-touch communications, we are motivating, educating, and empowering patients to manage their own long-term health. We activate patients.
Activate your patients now.
