During a routine CCM call to a patient, a BlueFish medical care manager was greeted by a very excited patient. He wanted to let her know that by following the care plan and advice the BlueFish medical care manager, that he had lost 15 pounds. The patient had history of diabetes and hypertension. The patient went on to tell our care manager that he felt great and that his triglycerides have come way down.
Success Story 1
A BlueFish medical care manager was talking with a patient that had a BMI over 25. The care manager encouraged modest diet and exercise changes to improve her cholesterol and weight. The patient was provided a care plan and our care manager followed up monthly with the patient to monitor her progress. The results have been remarkable. She has been able to walk for longer and longer distances and has made positive changes to her diet. The patient is filled with self-confidence and is down to a dress size she hasn’t worn in years.
Success Story 2
The wife of a CCM patient informed a BlueFish medical care manager that her husband was sleeping all the time. He had recently been treated in the hospital and had missed a follow up appointment to his specialist. After asking the wife to let her know what medications her husband was taking that had been prescribed by the specialist – our nurse knew right away that there was an extremely dangerous drug/drug interaction. After calls to both the primary care physician and specialist, the prescriptions were corrected and the patient is feeling much better and sleeping much less.
Success Story 3
The wife of an Alzheimer’s patient informed a BlueFish medical care manager that she was worried about her husband’s sundowners syndrome. Her husband was attempting to leave the house. The wife was so concerned that she was staying up most of the night to make sure that he didn’t leave the house. Our BlueFish care manager passed along some information regarding GPS monitoring devices and also passed along some lock recommendations from Alzheimer’s Association. The wife is resting much better now!
