For this week’s blog post, we decided to spotlight two patient stories where CCM made an actionable difference in an individual’s health and overall wellbeing.
These testimonials come directly from our Wellbox Call Center in Jacksonville, Florida. This is where our care coordinators strive every day to help individuals with chronic conditions live happier and healthier lives.
Who are the faces behind our virtual care solutions? We invite you to meet some more of the amazing nurses on our team as they share their most memorable patient stories.
Recently, a care coordinator was speaking with a female CCM patient and realized the individual was having a hard time breathing during the call. The patient blamed the affected breathing on allergies. After further discussion, she shared she was not using any respiratory equipment or medication.
After more investigation, the care coordinator learned the patient had recently been diagnosed with anxiety and costochondritis, an inflammation of the cartilage that connects a rib to the breastbone. From there, our Wellbox care coordinator reached out to both the primary care physician and a specialist to make them aware of her condition and worsened symptoms.
The care coordinator then scheduled an appointment with the patient’s ENT to get her allergies under control. One-month post-CCM call, the patient is doing better and has an improved handle on her conditions.
In the second of our patient stories, a care coordinator discussed how a male patient was feeling during their monthly CCM touchpoint. The patient shared he had felt “really depressed” lately. He did not think he could wait until his upcoming in-person check-up in September.
To help, our Wellbox care coordinator immediately contacted the primary-care office. They were able to get him an appointment on Friday of the same week. When the care coordinator followed up with the patient confirming the date and time of the visit, he shared his overwhelming gratitude because he did not even realize the phone calls could be used in this manner.
For those of us at Wellbox, these types of stories make our jobs worth it. It is Wellbox’s goal to benefit patients and their primary care providers, and testimonials such as these reinforce the notion that our services help ensure clinical excellence for all parties.
In the words of one of our care coordinators:
“This is my reason for becoming a CMA: to help.”
