Patient Self-Management: A Key to Effectiveness and Efficiency in Care of Chronic Disease
Abstract
Halsted Holman, MDa The present health care system is neither effective nor efficient. The dominant Kate Lorig RN DrPH3 reason for this is a contradiction between the principle problem confronting the system?chronic disease?and the system's methods of operating, which were designed for acute disease. Resolution of the contradiction requires a different practice of health care, with new roles for the patients, for physicians and other health professionals, and for health services. Until the middle of the last century, acute disease was the major health problem in the United States. Then chronic disease began to emerge as the central health care issue. Now, chronic disease is the major cause of disability, the principle reason why patients visit physicians, and the reason for 70% of health care expenditures.1,2 The present health care system, designed early in the last century to cope with acute disease, did not change when chronic disease became the major issue. As a consequence, discontinuity and fragmen tation of care are widespread. Technology is often applied unnecessarily. Com munity and home-based care are poorly developed. Costs mount without obvi ous commensurate benefits for patients. And a large segment of the population is unable to obtain appropriate health care. Why is this so? The answer begins to emerge when we examine the differ ences between acute and chronic disease, as outlined in Tables 1 and 2. Among the many differences, the most crucial are: There is no cure for chronic disease; instead, management over time is essential.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
