Chronic Disease Management

Overview

For simple understanding, Chronic Diseases are those which are long-lasting and at the same time progress at a slow pace. These diseases can be non-communicable in nature. However, they can last for a long time and can be influenced by health-related behaviours. Commonly categorised under chronic diseases and which require a focussed Chronic Disease Management Program are Diabetes, Hypertension, Osteoarthritis, Mental Illness, Multiple Sclerosis and Sleep Apnea.

What is Chronic Disease Management? How is it planned?

A Chronic Disease Management program covers the treatment of patients who continue to suffer from two or more chronic conditions at the same time. The time period for the treatment lasts a long time depending upon the condition of the patient.

Chronic diseases are very complex with many risk factors which can be a combination of genetic factors and age, that cannot be changed. Some of the commonly observed factors that lead to chronic diseases are unhealthy diet, excess alcohol consumption, smoking and physical inactivity.

A Chronic Disease Management Program helps patients systematically monitor their progress in coordination with experts. It is also aimed at successfully addressing any issues noticed during the course of the treatment. This may vary as some illnesses may not be directly medical in nature but can involve patients and their interactions with families and at their workplaces.

Chronic Disease Management involves a measured way of counselling the patients to get them treatment ready, especially when it could be for a longer duration. This is where our experts at Apollo TeleHealth are extremely professional and good.
