Hypertension, or high blood pressure, is a chronic condition affecting millions worldwide. Left untreated, it can lead to serious health complications like heart disease, stroke, and kidney failure. Care coordination is critical in managing hypertension and improving patient outcomes.
60% of Americans have at least one incurable disease, and approximately 90% of all healthcare expenditures are spent managing chronic symptoms – nearly $3.7 trillion. Medicare and Medicaid debuted chronic care management (CCM) in 2015 to reduce ambulatory care through proactive monitoring.
