Disease Management is recognized as a multidisciplinary approach to treating people living with chronic diseases through the use of coordinated interventions, integrated care, and evidence-based guidelines. Examples of chronic disease diagnoses or conditions that can improve through Disease Management are diabetes, asthma, heart failure, COPD, renal disease, and depression. Through the implementation of Disease Management principles and education, outcomes such as reduction in medical costs or services, improved quality of life, and patient empowerment and self-management can be achieved.
