The Chronic Care Model Overview National Consultation, Central American Diabetes Initiative (CAMDI) (Managua, Nicaragua, 2–3 July 2007)
Chronic Diseases • Background • Globally, 60% of all deaths are due to chronic diseases • Majority of chronic disease deaths occur in low and middle income countries • Threat is growing – the number of people, families and communities afflicted is increasing
Chronic Diseases • Background (cont) • Chronic disease has major adverse effects on quality of life • In low-income countries, middle-aged adults are especially vulnerable to chronic disease • Chronic disease hinders the economic development of many countries
Background • The chronic disease threat can be overcome: • Common, modifiable risk factors underlie the major chronic diseases • The science exists for optimal disease management • The solutions are effective – and highly cost-effective
What must be done? To evolve from acute focused ‘find it and fix it’ health care systems towards ones that are proactive, provides comprehensive and coordinated care and are designed to meet the long term needs of patients. ‘ Trying harder will not work. Current health systems cannot do the job. Changing care systems will ’. US Institute of Medicine, 2001
Chronic Care Model • The Chronic Care Model developed by the MacColl Institute for Healthcare Innovation (USA) provides a road map for redesigning the system to better manage chronic conditions • This model can be applied to a variety of chronic illnesses, health care settings and target populations www.improvingchroniccare.org
Chronic Care Model • The model has been adopted by the WHO as the basis for its framework for managing chronic conditions • Is used in many countries and health care organizations around the world • Has been shown to improve patient outcomes and reduce costs for many chronic conditions www.who.int/chp
