[A brief review of research on chronic disease management based on collaborative care model in China]

To evaluate the situation for chronic disease management in China, and to seek the method for improving the collaborative management for chronic diseases in community.

We searched literature between January 2008 and November 2013 from the Database, such as China Academic Journal Full-Text Database, and PubMed. The screening was strictly in accordance with the inclusion and exclusion criteria and a summary was made among the selected literature based on a collaboration model.

We got 698 articles after rough screen and finally selected 33. All studies were involved in patient's self-management support, but only 9 studies mentioned the communication within the team, and 11 showed a clear team division of labor.

Chronic disease community management in China displays some disadvantages. It really needs a general service team with clear roles and responsibilities for team members to improve the service ability of team members and provide patients with various forms of self management services.
