An apparatus, method, and system for the design, administration and implementation of integrated disease management. The integrated disease management ("IDM") system maximizes contact and enrollment rates of traditional remote disease management alone. This is accomplished through the creation of a system that combines telephonic-delivered disease management (i.e. traditional disease management) with work-site based health center clinician ("trusted clinician"). The IDM program is characterized by the involvement of a trusted clinician who actively participates in the disease management program by being involved in the stratification process, the contact step and the process of creating and updating the patient's individualized care plan. Therefore, the IDM program also allows the clinician to be involved in both contact and enrollment phases of the program. The IDM program further increases the efficiency of the disease management program by allowing employers to realize higher returns on their investment into such programs.
