Alere Disease Management Programs
The Alere Heart Failure Program improves quality of life for heart failure patients by incorporating Alere’s patented DayLink™ Monitor, daily monitoring of high-risk members by cardiac nurses, notifications to the member’s physician about clinical changes, and “teachable moment” interactions between nurses and members, empowering them to be active participants in managing their disease.
