Short Abstract:

The goal of this initiative is to develop a process for the IHS to effectively and efficiently address chronic conditions. A strategic plan will be developed using a model for chronic illness care created from the experience of the IHS Division of Diabetes Treatment and Prevention, the Chronic Care Model, the WHO Innovative Care for Chronic Conditions Framework, and the Institute of Healthcare Improvement. These models and experience suggest that our approach to chronic conditions can be improved by creating a health care system that is practical, supportive, population -based, and evidence-based. The system should promote an interactive relationship between informed, motivated patients and a healthcare team that is prepared and proactive. The Chronic Care Model has been successfully applied to a variety of chronic illnesses, health care settings, and target populations.
