Coaches find VLM beneficial because it simplifies many of the most time consuming tasks associated with a behavior change intervention. This means they can spend more time interacting to help patients overcome barriers to adopting and sustaining health promoting and disease-preventing behaviors. With the VLM, clinicians will find it easier to help their patients stay engaged and motivated through advanced on-line health communication tools. Coaches can quickly gather performance data on individual patients as well as entire populations.

DPS Health additionally just rolled out a new Coaching Services program for partners who are interested in offering VLM to more of their patients without using existing staff time. We have contracted with a number of highly-skilled and experienced health coaches throughout the country to provide additional coaching to patients. This means your patients can get all the benefits of VLM without any impact to your nurses or coaches.
