Pilina Care Program
Chronic Care Management (CCM)
Our Pilina Care CCM program is an innovative partnership between our clinic and KTA Pharmacy, a community-based pharmacy. KTA Pharmacy works closely with our providers and pharmacy staff to ensure seamless care coordination of Pilina Care CCM patients. The program provides end-to-end treatment strategies in a collaborative care model, which includes primary medical and mental health care, integrated pharmacy, and remote monitoring.
The Pilina Care program allows each organization to share resources and expertise, thereby:
- Expanding access and faster time to critical intervention as Pilina Care CCM patients will have access to health care and support services in-clinic, outside of an office visit.
- Improving patient engagement due to the high level of patient/care team interaction from month to month.
Our Pilina Care CCM program currently focuses on the following chronic conditions:
- Diabetes
- Hypertension
- Hyperlipidemia
As the program grows, we will add other chronic conditions such as asthma, COPD, depression, kidney disease. Alzheimer’s, arthritis, cardiovascular disease, and more.
