Screen for Chronic Conditions

Whether you are a doctor, insurer, public health official, or disease management organization, gaining a heightened awareness of individuals with chronic health conditions is always a worthwhile goal.

Until now, the only way to identify those who might benefit from medical treatments, new drugs, or improved education was to analyze claims data that is sometimes not available until 6 to 12 months after a claim arrives. The problem with this is that time is of the essence. The sooner you can identify someone with diabetes, asthma, COPD, and other conditions, the sooner you can help.

QualityMetric's reliable and scientifically valid generic health surveys, including the SF-12v2^® and SF-8™, are perfect for measuring population health. They identify people at risk for a variety of chronic conditions, both at present and in the future. Additionally, these surveys can measure disease burden in select populations.

The benefits of using our health surveys are far-reaching. When you make patients aware that they are at risk for a chronic condition, they can get the help, information, or treatment they need. That, in turn, can cut down on absenteeism in the work force. And the ability to monitor the ups and downs of a person's condition on a long-term basis with a survey that is easy to use and produces instant results, enables healthcare providers to assess treatment and make changes accordingly.
