Chronic Disease Management At Home
What is Chronic Disease Management?
Chronic disease management involves the comprehensive, ongoing care and support of individuals living with long-term health conditions that persist for a year or more and require continuous medical attention or limit daily activities.
Common chronic diseases include diabetes, hypertension (high blood pressure), chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), heart disease, arthritis, chronic kidney disease, Parkinson’s disease, Alzheimer’s disease, multiple sclerosis (MS), and asthma.
These conditions often require regular monitoring, complex medication regimens, lifestyle adjustments, and preventative care to control symptoms, slow disease progression, and prevent complications. Effective chronic disease management focuses on improving the patient’s overall health, reducing the frequency of hospital visits, and enhancing the ability to perform daily activities. By addressing both the physical and emotional aspects of chronic illness, comprehensive management can significantly improve the patient’s quality of life.
