Healthcare IT News: Disease Management

Disease management (DM) aims at enhancing health care quality by helping people to improve their health conditions. DM is one of the measures intended to address the problems of health conditions, especially chronic ones. Disease management can be made effective with the help of disease management programs (DMPs). DMPs organize care in multidisciplinary, multicomponent programs in a practical approach focusing on the entire situation of chronic disease by utilizing evidence-based care solutions. Disease management programs (DMPs) can be offered to patients via online modes such as sensors, computers, phones, applications, etc. All these can be used for providing cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) to patients so that they can successfully employ care plans for managing their chronic health conditions.
