Chronic Disease Management (CDM) programs are organized systems for managing chronic diseases, including diabetes, heart disease, and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). CDM programs bring together healthcare providers, patients, and families to enhance health outcomes. The main elements are patient education, goal-setting, and monitoring. CDM programs also focus on self-management skills, medication compliance, and lifestyle changes. By offering constant support and direction, CDM programs are able to assist patients in controlling their conditions better, minimizing complications, and enhancing the quality of their lives. Constant assessments and modifications are also important.
