AMAXX FAQ

What is the difference between Population Health Management & Disease Management?

• Health Management takes the concept of disease management to the next level:
• It integrates all components for a physiologic condition of the whole patient population, whereas disease management programs require that a disease manifests itself.
• A disease management counterpart to our program would be one that manages the care of premature babies.
• Therefore, in order to get into the premature baby management program, a child would have to be born prematurely!

What is the correct healthcare definition of pregnancy?

• Pregnancy is, optimally, a 42-week developmental process in which a separate healthy human being is produced
• Pregnancy is a natural condition of a woman, not a disease
• Pregnancy is a condition that has many developmental stages with risk factors associated with each stage
• The risk factors, if detected, can be stabilized or minimized through proper and timely care coordination.
• This condition requires continual oversight by several different care providers and calls for the education of the mother such that she may be a participating part of the delivery system team.
• This process flows into the management of the newborn through all of its health management during the first year of life
