Care Management

Care Man­age­ment Ser­vices at Quin­cy Med­ical Group offer pro­grams to help patients with chron­ic con­di­tions improve the over­all qual­i­ty of their lives, ensure that they receive care based on the best med­ical prac­tices, improve their under­stand­ing of their con­di­tion, and reduce hos­pi­tal admis­sions and emer­gency depart­ment vis­its. The care man­agers are an exten­sion of the pri­ma­ry and spe­cial­ty care teams and will work with the patient, their fam­i­ly, nurs­ing staff, and their pri­ma­ry care provider.
