The Institute for Healthcare Improvement found patients need three things to successfully self-manage chronic illness: Basic knowledge about their disease, help to learn self-management skills, and continuous support from healthcare providers, family or friends and the community.
Highly trained case managers are key in providing that support, as well as in educating patients about chronic illness and enlisting community resources to help reinforce healthy behaviors.
