The way we care for patients with chronic conditions is changing. With the upcoming CMS ACCESS Model, healthcare organizations will need tools that enable continuous, connected, and outcome-focused care. KangarooHealth’s suite of solutions, including Remote Patient Monitoring (RPM), Chronic Care Management (CCM), and Principal Care Management (PCM), is designed to help providers meet these new expectations while keeping patients engaged, supported, and at the center of their care.
Transforming Chronic Care with the CMS ACCESS Model
The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) is launching the ACCESS Model in July 2026, a transformative initiative designed to improve care for patients with chronic conditions such as hypertension, diabetes, chronic pain, and depression. The model shifts care away from episodic fee-for-service toward technology-enabled, value-based care that delivers measurable outcomes.
A key component of the initiative is the ACCESS Tools Directory. This curated resource connects Medicare-enrolled organizations with vendors offering solutions to support chronic care management and improve patient outcomes.

- Chronic Care Management (CCM): Patient engagement between visits through multi-channel communication, including secure messaging, video, phone, and mobile app notifications.
- Principal Care Management (PCM) and Technology Solutions: Streamlined workflows, compliance support, and actionable insights for more effective care delivery.
