Why Specialize in Respiratory Disease?
Disease management programs are designed to help people take control of their chronic diseases and live healthier lives. Additionally, specific chronic diseases are proven to be manageable with programs that focus on modification of a person’s behavior.

In fact, respiratory conditions, such as asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), have proven to be very manageable. However, we’ve found that respiratory diseases require unique approaches that are very different from approaches used for other diseases and conditions.

Unlike other chronic diseases, such as heart disease and diabetes, respiratory diseases continue to increase in prevalence and severity. COPD is the only one of the top-ten deadly diseases in the United States that has shown an increase in the number of resulting deaths for the past several decades. While there are numerous explanations for this statistic, the fact remains that COPD and other chronic respiratory diseases are on the rise and need to be managed appropriately -- and cost effectively.

Population-based Results, (rates of utilization based on specific subsets of claims data):

Reduction In Utilization, Commercial Population, Asthma

The traditional one-size-fits-all approach to disease management does not work with chronic respiratory disease; it requires more. The successful management of asthma and COPD demands a unique approach. And it demands a different kind of disease management company.

NCQA Accreditation
Compassion. Experience. Results.

These three strengths are the key reasons why we received Accreditation from the National Committee for Quality Assurance (NCQA) for its Disease Management programs in both COPD and asthma. NCQA is the nation’s leader in health-care performance measurement and oversight. This prestigious accreditation includes both NCQA member and practitioner-oriented processes.

AirLogix received full accreditation from NCQA. Because of that, our customers also have the opportunity to receive disease management credits in their own NCQA quality HEDIS audits.

NCQA’s disease management evaluation program is designed to help leading disease management providers distinguish themselves in the market, streamline oversight processes and improve health-care quality.
