Health management is a concept (managed medicine) first put forward in the United States in the late 1950s. Its core content is that medical insurance institutions and medical service institutions systematically manage the health of their medical insurance customers (including patients with diseases or high-risk groups) or medical service customers.
Achieve the purpose of effectively controlling the occurrence or development of diseases, significantly reduce the accident probability and actual medical expenses, thus reducing the loss of medical insurance claims.
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.
In a relatively narrow sense, health management refers to a targeted personalized health management plan (prescription) based on the results of health examination, which establishes exclusive health files, evaluates health status.
Accordingly, 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.
