Disease management is a healthcare strategy that focuses on the proactive and coordinated management of chronic diseases or conditions. It involves a comprehensive approach to prevent and control diseases, improve health outcomes, and enhance the quality of life for individuals living with chronic illnesses. The goal of disease management is to optimize the management of disease, reduce complications, and minimize healthcare costs through early intervention, education, and ongoing support.
