J.Psychiatr.Ment.Health Nurs.; Historically, management of chronic diseases such as hypertension has tended to be reactive, with patients being passive recipients of care. In recent years, the chronic care model has been developed and implemented in many jurisdictions to ensure optimal, proactive care of people with chronic conditions. The model and its principles address the infrastructure and support that is necessary to enable this high-quality care. The role of the patient, primary care team, system and community are all addressed in this model. Experience suggests that application of chronic disease management principles to hypertension can result in significant benefits to all concerned. The fastest-growing methodology for disease management outcomes measurement is valid, transparent, easy to apply, and freely available in the public domain and this article. It measures the actual goal of disease management, which is to reduce the rate of adverse events associated with the disease(s) being managed. Changes in this rate can be translated into a return on investment using some explicit assumptions about comorbidities and episode costs. Outcomes measured in this way show that in the health plan community as a whole, disease management in the broadest sense is working, as measured by the relative stability in the rate of adverse medical events closely associated with common chronic disease during this decade of increasing prevalence of most of the common chronic conditions. We present the Interactive Biopsychosocial Model (IBM). The IBM argues for a reorientation in biomedicine where research, education, and clinical practice: (1) address health in addition to illness; (2) aim to decipher interrelated biophysical, psychocognitive, and social processes in health and disease, rather than seek a single root cause; and (3) take into account the social networks of the individual to achieve, maintain, and maximize health and well-being for individuals, their significant others, and society. The model provides a dynamic, dyadic, framework for building scientific hypotheses about the etiologies and consequences of health, well-being, and disease throughout the life course. The Program of All-inclusive Care for the Elderly (PACE) grew out of a small community organization in San Francisco and has been replicated by non-profit organizations in a number of other communities across the country. The authors review the successes of PACE as reported in the literature and discuss reasons for its limited growth as well as its significant influence on state and federal long term care policy. In this article, the author’s discuss how one might use the common sense model of self-regulation (CSM) for developing interventions for improving chronic illness management. They describe two separate, ongoing interventions with patients with diabetes and asthma to demonstrate the adaptability of the CSM. They also discuss three additional factors that need to be addressed before planning and implementing interventions: (1) the use of top-down versus bottomup intervention strategies; (2) health care interventions involving multidisciplinary teams; and (3) fidelity of implementation for tailored interventions. Effective psychological and pharmacological treatments are available, but for depressed older adults with long-term physical conditions, the outcome of routine care is generally poor. This paper introduces the chronic care model, a systemic approach to quality improvement and

Three influential programmes, the Improving Mood Promoting Access to Collaborative Treatment programme, the Prevention of Suicide in Primary Care Elderly Collaborative Trial, and the Program to Encourage Active, and Rewarding Lives for Seniors, have shown that when the model is adopted, significant improvements in outcomes can be achieved. Radical changes in working practices may be required, to implement the model in practice. However, a leading researcher in the field of depression care has suggested that there is already sufficient evidence to justify a shift in emphasis from research towards dissemination and implementation. 27.

Chronic disease management programs for adults with Patient registries are a central component of the Chronic Care Model and research suggests that their use is associated with improved outcomes for patients with a range of chronic diseases. This article begins by outlining the case for using patient registries and it identifies some of the issues that need to be considered when setting up a registry. The second part of the article describes how a patient registry was used to support a newly established active case management service. The case study teases out some of the practical constraints and contextual factors that affected the development and implementation of patient registry. However it also highlights that the patient registry was highly valued by front line clinicians who used it, as it was an effective caseload and performance management tool. To manage the future costs and quality of care, a health strategy must move beyond the individual, acute care model and address the care of older people with chronic, and often multiple, diseases. This strategy must address the issue of care gaps, i.e., the differences between best care and usual care. It should also embrace broad partnerships in which providers may be a cross-disciplinary team of nurses, physicians and pharmacists; the patient partners may include all patients in the community with a disease or group of diseases; and the system managers should work with all to seek improved long-term care and share the governance of interventions and resources. There is a clear and immediate opportunity to evaluate such care models as part of a health strategy for effective chronic care in our aging society. Financial constraints and quality requirements demand that interventions selected are most effective. The objective of this study was to conduct a literature review to evaluate the effects of patient advocacy case management on service use and healthcare costs for impaired older people or adults with a chronic somatic disease living in the community. The literature review revealed that patient advocacy case management does not increase service use and costs and was effective in decreasing service use and costs in two studies. These conclusions are an indication for quality improvement through the combination of its organizational benefits. Medical non adherence has been termed the "Achilles' heel of modern healthcare." In considering the need to improve medical adherence among chronically ill children, it is necessary to understand parent adherence. Through communication of their beliefs, the behaviour they model, and direct training, parents exert a powerful influence on the development of children's beliefs and behaviour. Given this perspective, it is important for clinicians to emphasize the need for parental adherence to a child's treatment regimen. n/a
