chronic disease management  

Definition

  • Disease management means taking actions to ensure the best possible level of health and functioning for the individual and the least amount of disruption of daily life. Implicit in the concept of chronic disease is the idea that no cure for the given illness is available and the condition must be managed to reduce its impact on the patient, family, and society.
