Disease management initiatives are becoming increasingly popular in the US as a way for managed-care plans to care for their members with chronic conditions. Diabetes is one of the most expensive chronic conditions, both in terms of human lives and actual healthcare costs. Managed-care plans are adopting different approaches to caring for their members with diabetes. The experience of one organisation shows that a population management approach to caring for people with diabetes is the best way to improve clinical outcomes and reduce healthcare costs for managed-care organisations in the short term. |
