What is Health Management?

ARAM focuses on health as much as on the disease. In many cases that have a chronic medical problem like diabetes, hypertension, coronary artery disease etc there is often missed component of preventive care causing unrelated life threatening problems like breast, prostate or colon cancer. We at ARAM always consider the whole patient as a single entity. We not only help manage ‘better control of the disease condition’ but also ‘help prevent the medical conditions that can be prevented.’

How ARAM is different from anyone else?

What is health management? Health Management is a new concept and we at ARAM fully support and endorse it. Health management empowers a consumer that is you to improve on your health condition. This is in addition to keeping your medical conditions if any under a good control.

How do you make healthy ‘healthier’?

Many individuals who think they are healthy as they have no symptoms really have milder forms of chronic medical problems like high blood pressure, early diabetes, high cholesterol, are overweight or have other problems like cancer in body that was missed as proper screening was missed. So those who think ‘they are healthy’ may not really be healthy. We educate them and work with them to detect the problems early that they can be treated or cured.

What if I only have one disease?

You may buy membership for one illness only. However we strongly encourage you to buy the full set as when you have one medical problem you must keep a close eye on other medical conditions as many a times medical conditions work together to cause damage to your body. For example if you have diabetes, high blood pressure will add to the risk of kidney failure, high cholesterol will add to the risk of heart attack and stroke and so on.

What do I do with the action cards?

Read the action cards and see what actions need to be taken to optimize your care that you need to take on your own. Print an additional copy of the report and take to your doctor’s office that your doctor can ensure that gaps in your health care can be so that it can be ensured that you are getting the most appropriate care as recommended by the experts in the field.
 
***************************************************
 
What is the use of the report card?

Report cards tell you what is missing from your care, what will happen if you do not take care of that issue and how to address that issue. Report cards are based on guidelines by the experts in the respective fields.
 
***************************

Do I need to answer all questions in one sitting?

You may answer all questions in one sitting. Depending on how many illnesses you have it may take from 30 minutes to 2 hours to answer all the questions and get your report. You will need more time to answer questions if say you have diabetes with high blood pressure and had a heart attack in the past compared to if you have asthma only. Remember there are no shortcuts when it comes to your health. If you take shortcuts for your health you may face consequences of poor health.
