CDPHP Honored For Best Disease Management Program In Upstate New York
Health and Wellness Efforts Recognized For Fifth Consecutive Year
Albany, NY (Vocus) December 22, 2010
For the fifth consecutive year, CDPHP® has been recognized for offering the best disease management (DM) program in upstate New York by Health Industries Research Companies (HIRC), a national, independent research organization serving the health care industry. CDPHP was the only health plan in the Capital Region to receive this award, with no other health plans north of New York City or east of Buffalo recognized. Less than six percent of organizations are honored, and only about a quarter of those organizations have been honored every year, as CDPHP has.
“CDPHP is proud to be consistently recognized for its efforts to develop innovative programs and services which assist members in managing their medical conditions,” said John D. Bennett, MD, president and CEO, CDPHP. “We remain committed to the concept of disease management and its benefits to our members and employers.”
HIRC’s Tenth Annual Report on the Disease Management Industry profiles the leading disease management organizations (DMOs), assesses their growth trends, indicates their current partnerships, provides recommendations for future opportunities, and recognizes best current programs among health plans, employers, and vendors.
