What is health management?

Health management is a concept (Managed Care) first put forward in the United States in the late 1950s. Its core content is that medical insurance institutions can effectively control the occurrence or development of diseases through systematic management of their medical insurance customers (including patients with diseases or high-risk groups), significantly reduce the accident probability and actual medical expenses, and thus reduce the loss of medical insurance. The original concept of managed medical care in the United States also includes the signing of the most economical and applicable prescription agreement between medical insurance institutions and medical institutions to ensure that medical insurance customers can enjoy lower medical expenses, thus reducing the compensation burden of medical insurance companies.

With the continuous enrichment and development of practical business content, health management has gradually developed into a set of professional system schemes and operations, and professional health management companies have begun to appear, which are different from traditional medical institutions such as hospitals and provide systematic and professional health management services as third-party service institutions and medical insurance institutions or directly facing personal needs.

Relatively narrow sense of health management refers to the establishment of exclusive health records according to the results of physical examination, evaluation of health status, and targeted suggestions on personalized health management (prescription). On this basis, professionals provide one-on-one consultation and follow-up consultation services, so that customers can obtain comprehensive health maintenance and security services from social, psychological, environmental, nutritional and sports perspectives.

Health management is guided by modern health concept (physiological, psychological and social adaptability), new medical model (physiological-psychological-social) and TCM disease prevention. By adopting the theories, techniques, methods and means of modern medicine and modern management, the overall health status of individuals and groups and their risk factors affecting health are comprehensively detected, evaluated, effectively intervened and continuously tracked.
