Disease Management

Disease management is an organized, proactive approach to health care delivery that includes self-care management techniques, patient education, provider training, and individualized care plans based on clinical guidelines to manage individuals with treatable chronic diseases. The goal is to decrease overall costs by preventing serious complications of these diseases. RAND work has been examining how disease-management programs affect the health of those enrolled in them, as well as overall costs.
