Transforming Chronic Disease Management With MyGPMPtool
Chronic Disease Management (CDM) is essential to modern general practice, yet many clinics struggle to keep up with the administrative load that comes with it. Paperwork, referrals, follow-ups, care plans—it all adds up. The good news? With the right systems and tools, you can run a streamlined, efficient CDM program that boosts patient outcomes and practice revenue without overwhelming your team.
Here’s how to simplify your CDM workflow and reduce time wasters using MyGPMPtool (MGT).
1. Recognise the Time Wasters
Let’s face it—practices often lose hours each week to inefficient CDM processes. Some of the biggest culprits include:
- Repetitive printing, faxing, scanning and multiple practitioners
- Chasing paperwork and signatures
- Manual follow-ups and referrals
- Attending to paperwork that has already been completed and billed.
The first step to streamlining is identifying what’s wasting your team’s time. Once you see where the bottlenecks are, you can begin automating them.
2. Stop Creating Paperwork From Scratch
How often do you create a care plan or review document completely from scratch? With MGT, that becomes a thing of the past.
MGT remembers your patient history, previous care plans, goals, services, and team members. It intelligently suggests content for new care plans or reviews based on prior entries—saving clinicians 15–20 minutes per patient. The result? More time spent on patient care, not paperwork.
3. Automate Your Referrals
Referrals are one of the most time-consuming parts of CDM—especially when they involve scanning, printing, posting or faxing.
MGT allows you to send referrals electronically in seconds. Select the service provider, hit send, and the referral—with relevant patient information—is delivered securely and instantly. No printing. No scanning. No chasing faxes.
4. Eliminate Paper Handling Entirely
Paper is slow, messy, and prone to getting lost. MGT replaces it with a completely digital workflow:
- Securely upload completed plans to your clinical software.
- Generate and send documents electronically
- Track progress and updates within the platform
Every care plan, every review, every referral—always accessible and always in sync with your team.
5. Use Online Communication That Works
Patient communication is key in CDM, but calling every patient or sending letters wastes time and resources.
MGT generates notifications to help patients stay engaged with their care plans. Whether it’s a reminder about an appointment, a goal update, or a care plan review notice, patients are kept in the loop—no more manual reminders or no-shows.
