In recognition of the importance of partnering with our
community-based providers in managing our patients' healthcare, HHC Connectx and
HHC's Chronic Care Collaborative have developed a disease management website
offering clinical resources and tools for the management of select chronic
illnesses.
These resources were carefully selected specifically for our
community-based providers in conjunction with HHC clinicians and are available
to all physicians who partner with HHC Connectx. The main
disease areas highlighted are: Asthma, Diabetes, Hypertension, Depression, and
Pediatric Nutrition.
The site includes clinical guidelines, patient education materials
(translated into several languages), patient self-management tools, and relevant
links from a variety of sources including NYC HHC, MetroPlus Health Plan, and
New York City Department of Health.
