How does the Disease Management program work?
There are several ways that you can take advantage of the Trust’s Disease Management program. You can call to ask a question, you may work with your health care professional on an ongoing basis, or you may get health information online or by mail. You may take advantage of all options or just some of them; it’s up to you. Partner with a professional to manage your condition: If you wish, Alere’s team of nurses, health educators and dieticians will work with you to develop an action plan to help you learn to manage your condition. It starts with a brief health questionnaire by phone, and continues with support to follow your doctor’s treatment plan and to help you become better informed about your condition. You’ll have access to a registered nurse who will assist you with the program until you are confident you have the skills you need to feel your best.
