Diabetes necessitates constant monitoring and management. Traditionally, this relied on in-person clinic visits, which can be inconvenient and create barriers to consistent care. However, the rise of virtual care services like Chronic Care Management offers a promising solution. CCM programs such as those provided by CCS leverage key quality metrics to deliver customized virtual clinical care, and studies have shown its effectiveness in improving HgA1C levels – a key indicator of long-term blood sugar control.
Improved Communication Between Caregiver and Diabetic Patient
CCM facilitates improved communication between patients and providers. CCM programs allow for monthly check-ins, enabling timely adjustments to medication regimens, dietary advice, or lifestyle recommendations. This continuous dialogue empowers patients to voice concerns and receive personalized support, addressing anxieties and promoting adherence to treatment care plans. Studies have shown that increased patient-provider communication leads to better self-management skills and improved A1C outcomes.
CCM Breaks Down Barriers to Diabetic Care
Chronic Care Management also tackles geographical and socio-economic barriers that can hinder access to quality care. In rural areas or for patients with limited mobility, traveling to appointments can be difficult. A CCM program from Chronic Care Staffing eliminates these hurdles by allowing patients to receive care from the comfort of their homes. This increased accessibility is particularly crucial for managing diabetes, a condition that disproportionately affects low-income populations who may struggle with transportation or work schedules.
Cost-effective Solutions for Diabetic Patients
Beyond accessibility, CCM offers cost-effective solutions for both patients and healthcare systems. CCM reduces the need for frequent in-person visits, minimizing travel expenses for patients and streamlining workflow for clinics. Additionally, early detection and prevention of complications associated with uncontrolled diabetes, such as heart disease and kidney failure, can lead to ER reductions and significant cost savings overall.
CCS: Expert, Dependable CCM for the Diabetic Patient
In conclusion, a CCM program offers a powerful tool for improving A1C levels in diabetes patients. By promoting patient engagement, enhancing communication with providers, increasing access to care, and offering cost-effective solutions, CCM empowers diabetic patients to take control of their health and achieve better long-term outcomes.

“Under the Constitution, Congress has sole authority to enact legislation, and the SEC’s climate rule as enacted constitutes administrative overreach by a federal agency,” said Piazza. “Moreover, the SEC has no authority to address major climate policy questions absent clear Congressional intent to grant it such authority which did not happen in this instance.”
Bradshaw noted, “recent U.S. Supreme Court decisions set forth clear limits on the powers of federal agencies, and this challenge to the SEC’s climate rule is the most recent example of an agency exceeding its congressional mandate.”
The brief is filed in support of the petition by the Texas Alliance of Energy Producers and the Domestic Energy Producers Alliance to vacate the rule, one of multiple challenges filed against the SEC around the country since approving the rule in March 2024. Those challenges have been consolidated and are pending in the Eighth Circuit. In an uncharacteristic and unusual move, the SEC voluntarily stayed the date the rule was to become effective, a clear acknowledgment of the multiple and serious legal challenges pending before the Court of Appeals.

Nearly 7 million Americans are currently living with Alzheimer’s; this number is projected to double by 2050.
Alzheimer’s begins 20 years or more before memory loss and other symptoms develop, making early intervention critical.

The collaboration enables clinicians to include medication adherence as a part of their patients’ remote care management plan
SAN DIEGO, July 25, 2024 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ — MD Revolution, the leader in remote care management solutions for health systems and multi-specialty clinics, announced today that its RevUp and RevCare solutions will fully integrate with PatchRx’s industry-leading medication adherence platform, PatchRx Connect. With this integration, clinicians can add medication adherence to their comprehensive remote care management programs and enable a broader suite of remote care options for their patients.
Medication non-adherence costs the U.S. healthcare system over $100 billion annually due to avoidable hospitalizations, increased service utilization, unnecessary pharmacy costs, and diagnostic testing. For patients with chronic and complex conditions, the risk of non-adherence is especially profound, accounting for up to 25% of medication-related hospitalizations, and 125,000 deaths every year in the U.S. Despite this pervasive challenge, many healthcare providers today lack the tools to effectively compare a provider’s recommended medication therapy with the patient’s actual medicine-taking behavior.
PatchRx’s novel smart-cap technology is clinically backed to improve prescription drug adherence, with real-world evidence showing over 54% of patients improve in medication consistency while using the service. Every time a patient opens a prescription medication equipped with PatchCap, that data is securely shared with the patient and the physician via MD Revolution’s remote care platform. With MD Revolution’s integration, clinicians can now monitor multiple patients, see daily medication adherence data, set reminders, and engage patients with informed and timely clinical support.
“We are excited to partner with PatchRx to make Remote Therapeutic Monitoring available to our patients and physicians,” said Kyle Williams, MD Revolution CEO. “Now thousands of our providers can track medication adherence as part of their total remote care management programs. By combining medication adherence with dynamic care management and automated billing, clinicians can personalize and improve health outcomes efficiently.”
“This collaboration will help empower more clinicians with the data they need to understand a patient’s medication-taking patterns – ensuring they benefit from the often life-changing impact of the right medication,” said Andrew Aertker, cofounder and CEO of PatchRx. “We’re thrilled to partner with MD Revolution, a noted innovator in remote care, to help clinicians better serve their patients.”
MD Revolution’s care management programs and connectivity suite integrates seamlessly with a full range of EHRs, remote monitoring devices, and applications that help monitor critical health information for patients, enabling physicians to offer personalized, timely, and proactive care for over four hundred health conditions.
