Smarter Chronic Disease Management with the New CDM Finder Tool

Chronic disease is one of the biggest challenges facing general practice today — and the workload is only increasing. But what if identifying and managing eligible patients could be faster, easier, and more accurate?

Enter CDM Finder — a new tool designed to help practices maximise their participation in the HSE Chronic Disease Management (CDM) Programme, reduce admin, and improve patient outcomes.

What’s New with CDM?

The CDM programme has already seen strong national uptake:

• Over 443,000 patients enrolled as of June 2024

• Positive health trends: reduced smoking and obesity, increased physical activity

But with multiple CDM phases and criteria changes, staying on top of eligibility and reporting can be tough. That’s where CDM Finder shines.

How CDM Finder Helps Your Practice

✅ Automatic Matching
Quickly identifies eligible patients based on chart data, age, and diagnosis.

📋 Integrated Workflow
Works seamlessly inside your practice management system, keeping admin in one place.

🔁 Track and Manage Enrolments
Easily see who’s already enrolled, who’s eligible, and who needs follow-up.

📊 Prepare for Future Phases
Get ready for upcoming CDM programme updates with built-in adaptability.

Why It Matters

The CDM programme is a win for patients — and a vital revenue stream for practices. CDM Finder makes it easier to:

• Boost participation

• Improve chronic care

• Ensure timely payments and documentation
