This is the care of people with chronic disease who consumes a large portion of the total expenditure on health in developed nations like the United States of America.
It was formally introduced in the 1990s as an attempt to improve the quality and reduce the cost of caring for people with chronic disease. The peculiar configuration of disease management programs in the United States may provide lessons for countries seeking solutions to the problem of caring for patients with chronic disease.
During the time of the Great Plague of London and the Spanish flu, disease management has been at the very lowest. Efforts to it have mostly been either global or isolated as communications have not been very efficient in the past.
Today, regarding COVID-19 in the US, Americans mostly can say that the response from both the government and health agencies like CDC, NIH and trusted health experts doctors lead by Dr. Anthony Fauci and Dr. Deborah Birx and of course, with the leadership of the American president Donald J. Trump, it has been very effective and timely. Even California's governor says the current administration has been very spot on with regards to calls for aid and assistance.
However, the fight is not yet over and it is rather unclear whether COVID-19's end is in sight. Although, one thing is clear... America will stand with the world to defeat this terrible disease. And you can bet, humanity will once again win against it.
