Addressing Chronic Disease<\/strong><\/p>\n

According to the Population Health<\/em> course text, \u201cRoughly 40 million Americans are still uninsured and 112 million Americans (almost half of the U.S. population, 45%) suffer from at least one chronic condition\u201d in the United States, an estimated 125 million persons have at least one chronic condition, and half of these persons have multiple chronic conditions\u201d (Fabius, and Pracilio, Nash, Clark, 2015, p. 4 ).<\/p>\n

This week\u2019s Learning Resources examine numerous health problems that result in a need for ongoing care. As you have explored this week, many costs are associated with chronic disease\u2014both in terms of lives lost and socioeconomic burden. What can be done to help reduce chronic disease at the population level?<\/p>\n

For this Discussion, you will take an in-depth look at chronic disease, and you will evaluate ways to address this issue through the application of chronic disease models and frameworks. In addition, you will consider the impact of the challenges of managing chronic disease on quality of care delivery.<\/p>\n
