“The right way to do care management is to personalize care plans based on the patients’ own data,” says Terri Steinberg, M.D., CMIO at Christiana Care Health System. The Wilmington, Del.-based health system is embarking on an ambitious initiative to do this kind of care management for its ischemic heart disease patients.
At Christiana Care Health System, population health management is achieved at a personalized level.
As the largest health system in Delaware, however, getting data down to that personalized level is easier said than done. Christiana Care is comprised of two hospitals with more than 1,100 patient beds, a home health care service, preventive medicine, rehabilitation services, a network of primary care physicians, and a range of outpatient services.
