Programs

Diabetes Care Management

This program provides self-management education for patients with diabetes, as well as lifestyle management education, to prevent diabetes not only within our medical clinic but also with numerous community partners.

Vaccines for Children

The VFC program is a federally funded program that provides vaccines at no cost to children who might not otherwise be vaccinated because of inability to pay. VFC was created by the Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act of 1993 as a new entitlement program to be a required part of each state's Medicaid plan. The program was officially implemented in October 1994.

Chronic Care Improvement Program

The focus of the program is to improve the quality of care for participants with chronic illness, decrease complications associated with chronic illness and reduce costs associated with delivering care to this population. The program provides education, health management support services and improved coordination of healthcare services for the MO HealthNet Division — MO HealthNet participants who suffer from long-term chronic diseases, including diabetes, asthma, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), cardiovascular disease and sickle cell disease. As part of the CCIP program, APS deployed the first state Internet-based plan of care, APS CareConnection® for health and disease management. The Internet-based plan of care enables the participants, providers and APS health coaches to collaborate more effectively using electronic medical records.
