Disease Management Process
In order to successfully execute the disease management programs, each component of the program should be
properly utilized throughout the disease management process. Health plans must immediately determine what
deficiencies in current disease treatment exist, and what achievable and measurable outcomes should be the
objectives for disease management initiatives. There are four important components of disease management
programs. These are:
1. Program must have a proper way to address disease prevention
2. Program must provide in-depth education to providers and patients
3. Program must provide timely and accurate diagnosis
4. Program must include treatment protocols to treat exacerbation and complication associated with
disease
Currently, disease management programs have had the greatest success with asthma, congestive heart failure,
and AIDS.
