DeeAnn Schmucker & Associates has developed resource and screening tools that provide an excellent way for participants to obtain GMA information. DeeAnn Schmucker & Associates understands how to develop efficient and effective chronic disease management that teaches patients they are not alone with the disease and that many people function very well despite their chronic condition. GMA groups allow participants to challenge each other to adhere to better lifestyle choices.

Also, patients often report they feel like they get more information, time, advice, and quality, in a group appointment. This results in efficient time management allowing physicians to see more patients in less time. According to a study conducted in Utah, GMA patients tend to better follow medical advice. Data supports that GMA groups resulted in a 200% to 300% increase in patient visits resulting in increased revenue. GMA’s are fun for physicians and facilitators and result in increased patient satisfaction.

 

  • Group medical appointments are customized, extended medical appointments with a patient’s own doctor and a behavioral health professional.

  • Patients served best by group medical appointments are those with chronic conditions who require extensive monitoring, support, and follow up.
     

  • Medical group managers, private practice clinicians, nurse executives, and behavioral health professionals benefit through the use of GMA’s.
