Value Based Care: Improving Chronic Disease Care

Apart from providing CME education to individual providers, we offer clinics a structured program to improve quality of care of various chronic diseases.  Currently, we offer a program to improve the management of heart failure.  Why heart failure? Because there is a large gap between Guideline-Directed Medical Therapy (GDMT) vs the actual practice of medicine:

The Problem: A Staggering Gap in Care in Managing HFrEF

The Data:

  • 82% are on ACE/ARB, 81% on beta‑blockers
  • Only 23% receive MRAs, and just 3.6% get SGLT2 inhibitors
  • Less than 1% achieve target doses across all three traditional GDMT classes (ACE/ARB, BB, MRA), much less all four including SGLT2i

This under-treatment drives avoidable hospitalizations, increased mortality, and inflated healthcare costs.

What we Offer: A Framework for Sustained Clinic-Wide Impact

  • Onsite Evidence Based  Education accredited for CME Credit (1.5 hours)

  • One-Page Point-of-Care Reference Guide
    Concise, actionable tool for point-of-care decision-making.

  • 12-Month Spaced Repetition
    Ongoing review questions at spaced intervals ensuring retention and application.

The Benefits we Provide:

  • ROI via Value-Based Care
    This program pays for itself:  Preventing even a single heart failure hospitalization (~$15K–$30K cost) typically pays for the entire program.

  • Team-Wide Clinical Alignment
    Standardize best practices across your entire provider team—no one left behind.

  • Accredited and Sustained Performance
    Expertly delivered, CME-accredited education with follow-up reinforcement.

  • Simple Implementation
    One visit. One invoice. 12 months of value. Minimal administrative burden.

By integrating live training, point-of-care tools, and longitudinal reinforcement through spaced repetition, we support your clinic’s journey from passive learning to active, sustainable chronic disease management — all while providing the CME credits your providers need.

Costs: $25K

Most systems spend over $100,000 trying to achieve similar results with consulting and software—and still fall short.  This program delivers behavior change and performance improvement for significantly less.
