Poly-chronic disease network is a concept in the management of cost, quality, access, and capacity for those with multiple chronic diseases. By combining existing engineering principles, technologies, and readily-available communal resources, the poly-chronic disease network can be designed and implemented in nearly any community. In addition to background information, this book covers the three core technologies in use today: health information exchanges, dynamic simulation, and home/virtual monitoring. It includes a how-to guide for setting up a PCDN and explains how this management system differs from an accountable care organization--Provided by publisher.
