Chronic Disease Management MEGATRENDS
1) MAGNITUDE: We are just scratching the surface of chronic disease challenges.
2) INTEGRATION: The 50 year tide is shifting toward integration, away from specialization.
3) MEDICARE: While Medicare has endorsed the need for chronic disease management, disappointing results from recent demo projects make future direction unclear.
4) PROVIDERS: Care providers have woken up to DM opportunities and threats; they are promoting the Chronic Care Model and the medical home.
5) MAKE, ASSEMBLE, BUY? Fewer are buying as health management becomes increasingly strategic.
6) TECHNOLOGY: DM in your home and your pocket.
7) BEHAVIOR CHANGE: DM is moving from a medical to a social model; behavior change has become the Holy Grail.
8) CLINICAL AND ECONOMIC ROI: Round one is over, DM wins; Round 2 has just begun.
9) WILDCARDS!
