What is chronic disease management?

Chronic disease management (CDM) is a coordinated care approach to managing a patient’s health and well-being. It involves all members of a health care team working together with the patient to identify and set goals, plan and review treatment options, and monitor progress.

How can chronic disease management help me?

Chronic disease management can help you by improving your quality of life and allowing you to better manage your condition. It can also help to prevent complications from your chronic disease and reduce your risk of hospitalisation.

What will happen during a chronic disease management appointment?

During a CDM appointment, your health care team will ask you about your symptoms, how your condition is affecting your daily life, and what your goals are. They will then develop a care plan with you that includes lifestyle changes, self-management strategies, and other treatments that will help you to better manage your condition.

How often will I need to see my health care team for chronic disease management?

The frequency of CDM appointments will vary depending on your individual needs. However, most people with a chronic disease will see their health care team at least once every three months.
