Why the Interest ??
•Chronic diseases account for billions of dollars in annual medical expenditures
• Loss of work time and decreased worker productivity contribute to indirect costs
•Health care services for chronic conditions are often not coordinated among providers, creating opportunities for overuse or underuse of medical care

Disease State Management Definition
A system of coordinated healthcare interventions and communications for populations with conditions in which patient self-care efforts can be implemented

Disease State Management Definition•Disease management (DM)
▫Supports practitioner/patient relationship and plan of care
▫Emphasizes prevention of exacerbations & complications through the use of evidence-based practice guidelines and patient empowerment strategies
▫Evaluates clinical, humanistic, and economic outcomes on an ongoing basis with the goal of improving overall health
Circulation. 2006;114:1432-1445

Disease State Management Benefits• Improve the safety and quality of care• Improve access to care• Improve patient self-management• Improve financial cost containment without sacrificing
quality or patient satisfaction• Improve patient quality of life

Disease Management Program Components
1. Population identification processes
2. Evidence-based practice guidelines
3. Collaborative practice models (multidisciplinary teams that may include physicians, pharmacists, nurses…)

Disease Management Program Components
4. Patient self-management education (may include primary prevention, behavior modification programs, and compliance/surveillance)
5. Process and outcomes measurement & evaluation
6. Monitoring system/feedback loop that include patients and providers

Collaborative Drug Therapy Management (CDTM)
“A collaborative practice agreement between one or more physicians and pharmacists wherein qualified pharmacists working within the context of a defined protocol are permitted to assume professional responsibility” for certain tasks
Pharmacotherapy 2003;23:1210-1225.

Collaborative Drug Therapy Management (CDTM)
•Tasks include:▫Performing patient assessments▫Ordering and evaluating drug therapy-related
tests▫Selecting, initiating, monitoring, continuing
and adjusting drug regimens▫Assessing patient response to therapy ▫Counseling and educating a patient on
medications ▫Administering medications

How Does it Work ?
•As a first step, a disease management program must identify the population group
▫Programs target individuals with a specific disease that is chronic in nature and costly
▫Individuals with multiple conditions may also benefit
![Page 12: Disease State Management The Pharmacist’s Role](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062810/56815ac0550346895dc88628/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
12
DM Program Characteristics
•The diseases typically targeted by DM programs have the following characteristics: ▫Prevalent chronic condition▫High resource utilization▫Potential for lifestyle modification to improve outcomes ▫A variety of treatment options▫A high risk of negative outcomes

How Does it Work ?
•Multidisciplinary team of providers are recruited (e.g. physicians, pharmacists, nurses, dieticians psychologists) to assist individuals in managing their condition(s)
•Practice guidelines based on clinical evidence ensure consistency in treatment across target population
![Page 15: Disease State Management The Pharmacist’s Role](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062810/56815ac0550346895dc88628/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
15
How Does it Work ?
•The goal of disease management is to encourage patients to: ▫Use medications properly▫Understand and monitor their symptoms more effectively▫Change their behavior
•Clinical, economic and quality of life outcomes are evaluated to assess success of interventions
![Page 16: Disease State Management The Pharmacist’s Role](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062810/56815ac0550346895dc88628/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)

Organizations Offering DM ProgramsCommunity Pharmacies
• Desirable setting for providing DM for several reasons:
▫ People visit pharmacies more often than any other health care facility
▫ Community pharmacies account for dispensing the majority of prescriptions
▫ Accessibility of pharmacists creates the opportunity for patients and pharmacists to develop rapport
▫ Prescription databases allow pharmacists to readily retrieve patient-specific information to screen for high-risk patients and identify potential drug-related problems
