1. What is Chronic Disease?
Chronic diseases are considered preventable, and yet are the most common and costliest of diseases, leading to greater morbidity and mortality in the U.S. Population. The Federal Government has implemented a readmission reduction program as a means of reducing health care costs and mandating health care practice changes to better manage these chronic health conditions.
2. Best Practice Interventions
Evidence-based best practices have emerged that are shown to reduce re-hospitalization rates for HF and COPD. These same interventions have been shown to improve health and quality of life for patient’s that suffer with chronic disease.
3. Care Planning for Chronic Disease Management
Building on best practices for the prevention of re-hospitalization, therapists will be able to develop care plan interventions that improve health and quality of life for patients with chronic disease. Sarcopenia and frailty are common with chronic disease, leading to loss of physical functioning. Appropriate exercise and activity prescription are available to improve function, quality of life and health.
