Disease management focuses on improving quality of life for individuals with acute and chronic conditions by minimizing or preventing the disease effects through quality care.
This committee considers measures that address the management of acute events or chronic disease, management of behavioral health conditions, pre-operative care, post-operative care, complications, functional status and impairments, patient safety, never events (i.e., medical errors should never occur), morbidity, and mortality. Measures in this portfolio may also focus on improving health care system care coordination.
