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. |
