The Chronic Care Model is a framework designed to improve the management of chronic diseases, such as diabetes and heart disease. It emphasizes the importance of a proactive approach, focusing on patient-centered care, effective self-management, and coordinated healthcare services. The model encourages collaboration among healthcare providers, patients, and their families to enhance health outcomes. Key components of the Chronic Care Model include healthcare organization, community resources, and clinical information systems. By integrating these elements, the model aims to create a supportive environment that empowers patients to take an active role in their health, ultimately leading to better disease management and quality of life.
