ABSTRACT

Disease management, developed in the U.S.A. in the 1990s, is a comprehensive integrated approach that aims to incorporate all phases of chronic disease management from prevention to health education. Its main objective is to optimize patient care services by making patients more responsible for the management of their chronic disease. The specificity of its implementation in different countries is reflected by its translation into various concepts, such as: in the United States by the concept of the "Medical Home", in Germany by establishing contracts that encourage GPs and social security funds to support patients with chronic diseases, and in the United Kingdom through programs with measures that support the delegation of tasks and cooperation between primary care professionals. Disease management is accompanied by the introduction of new forms of payment for doctors and primary care facilities that ensure the effective implementation of the underpinning principles of disease management programs. In France, the development of the disease management approach is being promoted and advocated for integration into primary care, as it is gradually becoming an integral part of the French National Health Insurance Fund's strategy to enhance and improve the quality of care.
