The Importance of Chronic Disease Management

As instances of chronic disease are on the rise among the general population, care providers and GP’s need to ensure they have a structured disease management program in place to address patient needs effectively and efficiently. Providing structured and efficient health care to patients with chronic conditions will improve health outcomes while decreasing the complexity of delivering care for health care providers. 

CDM Plus in Australia takes a patient-focused approach to chronic disease management. Here are some of the advantages of this type of care.

• Early Detection. Prevention and early detection activities can help keep a patient well and prevent the condition from worsening while ensuring that they have access to the care and support services they need right from the start.
• A tailored approach. We understand that each practice operates a bit differently and can deliver training to suit your needs.

Supporting patients to manage their health more effectively: increasing patient engagement during a chronic disease management appointment through setting manageable goals can increase self-management.
