Programs
Tobacco Free
There's no question that quitting is difficult. Fortunately, you don't have to go it alone. With Security Health Plan's Tobacco Free Program you'll have a coach with you every step of the way. The path to quitting tobacco isn’t the same for everyone. We’ll help you develop your personalized plan for success. The quit rate for smokers who participate in evidence-based tobacco quit programs is double the national average of smokers who try to quit on their own.
Asthma
Through this program you are empowered to learn how to control your asthma symptoms by working with a certified asthma nurse educator. You learn about the diagnosis and treatment of adult and childhood asthma. You also learn the importance of selfmanagement as you receive one-on-one education and use asthma care kits as part of the program.
Diabetes
Security Health Plan’s Diabetes Management program emphasizes communication among you, your providers and Security Health Plan to ensure you are following your recommended diabetes care and improve your health.
Out of the Blue
The Out of the Blue program provides education to members who are diagnosed with depression and who are receiving treatment with antidepressant medication.
The program is based on the nationally recognized evidence-based IMPACT study and the DIAMOND Project, which each have proven success achieving optimal management of the treatment of depression. Unlike other depression management programs, Security Health Plan uses on-staff social worker care managers who work closely with you to improve your understanding of depression, how to use your medication and coping strategies.
Heart Failure
The Heart Failure program encourages selfmanagement and development of positive relationships with medical care providers and caregivers to achieve the best heart health possible. You receive mailed information about heart failure and one-on-one consultation with a nurse coach, who works closely with you and your providers to identify exacerbation symptoms early and avoid unnecessary emergency visits and hospitalizations. The program is based on the Institute of Clinical Systems Improvement (ICSI) guidelines.
High Blood Pressure and Cholesterol
If you have high blood pressure or high cholesterol we can help you understand the importance of proper treatment. We also offer nurse coaching services to help you better understand your health condition and what you can do to improve it.
