HOOG has introduced a hybrid care pathway for cardiovascular risk management (CVRM), designed to make chronic care more efficient and patient-centered. By combining digital preparation with in-person consultations, patients complete questionnaires and submit home measurements before their appointment. This ensures consultations focus on interpretation, shared decision-making, and meaningful clinical dialogue rather than routine data collection.
Better preparation through structured digital intake
Through digital intake and structured data exchange, healthcare professionals gain timely insight into a patient’s cardiovascular risk profile, including lab results and blood pressure values. Having this information available in advance improves preparation and allows consultations to be more focused and efficient.
Strengthening patient engagement and self-management
The hybrid pathway encourages patients to take an active role in their own health by completing questionnaires and performing measurements at home. This approach supports self-management, increases patient involvement, and helps create a more equal partnership between patient and professional during consultations.
Supporting sustainable primary care
By reducing unnecessary appointments and streamlining workflows, the hybrid CVRM pathway helps practices address workload and staffing pressures. HOOG demonstrates how a well-organized combination of digital and in-person care can contribute to sustainable, high-quality primary care without compromising clinical standards or patient experience.
