Enlightenment of Foreign Classical Chronic Disease Management Modes on the Management of Chronic Diseases in China

Abstract

In China, chronic disease prevalence is increasingly serious with the acceleration of urbanization, changes in lifestyle and the aging of the global population. Service provision for chronic diseases is one of the dilemmas for health service systems, and the chronic disease management model has created a new framework for it. In this paper, we mainly introduced the chronic care model, chronic disease self-management program and innovative care for chronic conditions framework, and compared them in terms of characteristics, application effects, limitations, and found that the core elements included multipronged synergy, continuous services, patient self-management, evidence-based decision making, and information technology support. The above experiences provide new ideas for the management of chronic diseases in our country: to establish a government-led and multi synergistic management system, to improve service continuity by contracting services from family doctors, to borrow wisdom medical treatment and strengthen patient endowment, etc., in the hope of achieving better chronic disease management outcomes.
