Disease management (DM) programs are crucial for chronic illness care, but evaluating their impact is challenging. This paper presents guiding principles for robust DM program evaluation to ensure accountability and effectiveness.

Area of Science:

  • Health Services Research
  • Public Health Policy

Background:

  • Disease management (DM) is increasingly vital for managing chronic illnesses in large populations.
  • Assessing the clinical, economic, and financial impact of DM programs is essential for accountability and healthcare affordability.
  • Evaluating DM programs is complex due to market adaptations, customer needs, and multifaceted interventions.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To propose a preferred, non-standardized approach for evaluating disease management programs.
  • To present the Disease Management Association of America Steering Committee's Consensus Statement and Guiding Principles.

Main Methods:

  • Convening a Steering Committee by the Disease Management Association of America.
  • Developing a Consensus Statement and Guiding Principles for robust program evaluation.
