title: Integrating services for optimal proactive care.
abstract: While case management, disease management and health advocacy each approach the patient relationship from a different angle, there are opportunities to integrate the three to achieve better results and move past finding only the sickest 1-3% in order to produce cost stabilization for employers. This article looks at how and why we should add survey-based predictive tools and coaching to the current case management and disease management mix to achieve substantial cost reduction and successful intervention.
