Chronic Disease Management
Chronic diseases are long-term medical conditions that progress slowly and often require ongoing care and management. Common chronic diseases include diabetes, heart disease, chronic respiratory conditions, hypertension, arthritis, and kidney disease. Effective management is crucial to maintaining quality of life, preventing complications, and reducing healthcare costs. Chronic Disease Management (CDM) is a structured approach that combines medical treatment, lifestyle modifications, patient education, and continuous monitoring to help patients live healthier, longer lives.
Reduce the severity and frequency of symptoms to improve daily functioning.
Minimize risks associated with chronic diseases, such as heart attack, stroke, kidney failure, or vision loss.
Support patients in maintaining independence and engaging in regular activities.
Encourage sustainable lifestyle changes like proper diet, exercise, and stress management.
