American Healthways is a chronic disease management organization that partners with managed care organizations nationwide to help improve the lives and health outcomes of patients with chronic diseases such as diabetes.
To help American Healthways reach this goal, PartnerComm creates quarterly newsletters to serve as educational tools for physicians and patients.
Diabetes Outlook goes to members of participating managed care organizations who have diabetes. The newsletter contains short, non-technical articles designed to help readers manage their disease. Self-care is very important for this population because their exercise, diet and medication regimens are essential to avoiding serious diabetes complications.
Diabetes Insights & Outcomes is written for primary care physicians who treat patients with diabetes. The newsletter keeps physicians current on trends in diabetes treatment and encourages physicians to be mindful of diabetes-related issues. Primary care physicians who have a solid understanding of diabetes care are in a better position to counsel patients on diabetes management. This helps American Healthways achieve its goal of improving members’ health outcomes.
PartnerComm also develops quarterly newsletters for patients with heart disease and lung disease and the primary care physicians who treat them.
