The Problem
• Patients often have difficulty in taking care of the longterm, day-to-day management of their own health. They
may:
 Miss appointments or follow-up referrals
 Not follow diet or activity recommendations
 Take medications or supplements that interfere with
prescribed therapies
 Ignore or not recognize signs of adverse events or disease
progression
 Behave in ways that put themselves at risk including not
adhering with prescribed medical therapies
• Clinicians have limited time to address these issues

Patients who are effective self-managers:
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
3
Learn about their HIV disease
Practice effective communication skills
Actively partner with providers in decision-making
Practice action-planning and problem solving
Self-monitor symptoms and follow treatment
directions
Seek and follow expert medical care and advice
Use family, peer, and community support resources
Maintain emotional and psychological balance
Practice health-promoting behaviors
National Quality Center (NQC)
Helping patients be better self-managers can…
• Improve
 Patient health outcomes
 Patient health-promoting behaviors
 Patient self-efficacy
 Communication with providers
 Utilization of community resources
 Containment of health care costs
 The quality and efficacy of HIV care
4

Providers Can Make A Difference
• Providers have key roles in supporting patient
self-management by
 Ensuring effective communication and education
 Collaborative goal-setting
 Shared decision-making
 Anticipating and planning for symptom and side
effects management
 Designing systems and support teams that aid
patients in developing and utilizing self-care skills
and resources

Learning Objectives
• Define “patient self-management” and provider “selfmanagement support”
• Describe evidence supporting self-management by
patients with chronic illnesses (e.g., asthma,
diabetes, arthritis)
• Discuss the value of self-management in the chronic
care of patients with HIV/AIDS
• Review the HIV provider training curriculum:
“Making Sure HIV Patient Self-management Works”
• Discuss provider practice-based self-management
support interventions for patients with HIV/AIDS
6
National Quality Center (NQC)
Patient self-management is…
“The capability of patients with chronic illnesses, in a
complementary partnership with and the support of
their health care providers, to manage the symptoms,
treatment, lifestyle behavior changes, and the many
physical and psycho-social challenges that they face
each day.”
A composite of definitions in the literature

Growing Support for Patient Self-Management
“Increasing evidence shows that self-management support
reduces hospitalizations, emergency department use, and
overall managed care costs.”
“Physician support of patient self-management is one of the
key elements of a system’s-oriented chronic care model.”
Coleman and Newton. Supporting self-management in patients
with chronic illness. Am Fam Physician 2005;72(8):1503-10

National Quality Center (NQC)
HIV/AIDS is similar in some ways
to chronic illnesses
•
Potent antiretroviral therapy has improved the health and extended the lives of
many people with HIV infection
•
HIV shares similarities with other chronic diseases: the need to take
medications daily; regular office visits and monitoring; risks of treatmentrelated side effects;
•
But also important differences: constant threat of acute illness; stigma, drug
resistance; infectious nature; marginalization
•
HIV therapy is constant, life-long, and treatment strategies must be
sustainable and flexible to meet changing situations
•
HIV patients have day-to day responsibilities for their care
•
Providers must provide support, motivation, tools, and education

Patient self-management is used
effectively in many chronic illnesses and
is an essential component of the Chronic
Care Model (CCM)

Asthma
Studies of asthma patient self management programs show that they
can…
 reduce morbidity
 improve lung function
 enhance feelings of self control
 reduce absenteeism from school and number of days with restricted
activity
 reduce nocturnal episodes
 reduce visits to an emergency department

Arthritis
• In multiple randomized trials, the Arthritis Patient Self-management
Program has been found to improve
 health behaviors
 self-efficacy
 health status
 cost savings1,2
• Patient self-management of arthritis reduced anxiety and depression
and improved participants’ perceived self-efficacy to manage
symptoms.3

Diabetes
 Most well-studied disease category
 Group visits and individualized problem- solving are
effective self-management tools resulting in
• Improved recommended prevention behaviors
• Improved health status (SF-36)
• Fewer specialty and ED visits
• Enhanced patient satisfaction and self-efficacy
• Improved HbA1c levels

13
National Quality Center (NQC)
Systematic Review of 39 Diabetes Studies
Using at least one component of the CCM
• 17 of 20 studies that included a patient selfmanagement component found positive
outcomes
 ↓ health care costs
 ↓ length of hospital stay
 ↑ health outcomes (e.g., improved HbA1c)
Bodenheimer T, et al. Improving Primary care for Patients with Chronic Illness:
The Chronic care Model, Part 2. JAMA. 2002;288(15): 1909-1914
14
National Quality Center (NQC)
The body of evidence shows that
supporting patient self-management…
 reduces hospitalizations
 reduces ER visits
 reduces overall managed care costs
 increases patient satisfaction with care
 improves health outcomes (e.g.,)
• Glycemic control
• Nocturnal asthma symptoms
• Blood pressure control
Coleman and Newton, Am Fam Physician, 2005
15
National Quality Center (NQC)
Self-management support includes…
• Collaborative goal setting and shared decision
making
• Regular follow-up, monitoring and assessing
progress towards achievable goals
• Revising goals and supportive interventions as
necessary
• Education and tools tailored to patient’s unique
needs and social and cultural environment
• Integrating support to the individual’s regular source
of medical care and monitoring their effects on a
patient’s health
16
National Quality Center (NQC)
Clinicians can provide increased support
of patient self-management by…
• structuring patient-physician interactions to include collaborative
goal-setting, problem-solving, and decision-making strategies
• using self-management support evidence base to guide daily
practice and decision-making
• making office system changes optimizing the care team, use
planned interactions
• providing self-management education and referrals, linking patients
to community self-management programs and other resources.

National Quality Center (NQC)
Sample Patient Self-Management
Supports Clinicians Can Use
• Patient education classes, resource referrals and reading
• Tools for goal-setting, action-planning, information
organization, problem solving, and decision-making
• Collaborative communication, information sharing, and
resource development
• Organizational or system supports (group visits; reminder calls;
pre-MD visit, medication guides, provider team coordination)
• Guides for self-monitoring symptoms, medication adherence,
side-effects, and appropriate use of medical resources
• Ongoing assessment and adjustment to changing
circumstances and behavior-change needs
• Use of the 5 A’s: Ask, Advise, Agree, Assist, and Arrange
18
National Quality Center (NQC)
Few Self-Management Studies
with HIV Patients
• No strong evidence yet of efficacy
• Only pilot studies have been done
• Results show:
 Increase in self efficacy correlated with increase in
CD4 count and decrease in viral load*
• More studies needed of in-office interventions
and system supports

Stanford HIV Self-Management Education
Pilot Study
• Pilot test of a group self-management course for HIV/AIDS patients
 ↓ symptom severity index in the education session group and ↑
in the control group.
 ↑ self-efficacy in the educational group and ↓ in the control
group.
 secondary outcomes (pain fatigue, psychosocial symptoms,
changes in stress/relaxation exercises, and HIV/AIDS
knowledge were not significantly different in the two groups.
• No follow-up of this pilot study reported to date.

Limitations of Patient
Self-Management Education
In a meta-analysis of 71 trials of self-management education across
several chronic disease states the authors concluded that…
• While self-management education programs are conceptually
appealing, the findings of this review suggest that not all selfmanagement education programs for all diseases or for all patients
are effective.
• Patient self-management programs which tailor educational content
and methodology to individual patients and which are integrated into
medical care may prove to be more effective than structured selfmanagement education courses, for which only specific patient
subgroups may be ready.

Potential Barriers to Initiating Patient
Self-Management Support Programs
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
22
Comfort with traditional model of care
Reluctance to lose “control”
Time constraints
Unpreparedness for dealing with “non-medical”
issues
Reimbursement concerns
Lack of skills training
Insufficient support from management
Unfamiliarity with the evidence basis
National Quality Center (NQC)
Getting Past the Barriers
• Join efforts with other self-management
supporters
• Use in-services and study groups to get “buyin” from clinicians and administration
• Create multi-disciplinary teams to plan and
implement programs
• Share the responsibilities of patient support
among members of the health care team
• Use community resources

29
National Quality Center (NQC)
Action Planning Worksheet
Patient Name:______________
Physician Name:______________
Assess patient’s primary concern or problem:
(e.g., “What is your greatest concern now?”; “What one thing would you most like to change?”)
_________________________________________________
Explore patient’s feelings about the problem:
(“What do you think makes this so hard for you?”; “How will you feel if things don’t change?”)
________________________________________________
Identify patient’s goals:
(“How would you like the situation to change?” “What one thing do you want to change?”)
________________________________________________
Brainstorm solution ideas:
(“What do you think might work or help you to reach that goal?”; How do you think you might solve this
problem?”; ”What have you tried in the past?”; “How might I or someone else help you to do this?”)
________________________________________________
Choose a solution and Action Steps to try:
(“What do you think you could do?”; “When would you do it?”; How often do you think you could do that?”;
What will you do to get started?”)
________________________________________________
Estimate self-efficacy [Use the “Getting to 7” Scale]:
(“Does this sound like something you can do?” ”Are you sure this is something you want to do?” “On a scale
of 1 to 10 how likely is it that you will actually be able to do that?” )

Patient Self-Management: Conclusions
• Actual time clinicians and patients spend together is
very limited; in between visits patients “self-manage”
their own care
• Patient self-management of chronic disease can
improve health outcomes and reduce costs
• Some patients are better self-managers than others; all
patients can become better managers
• Clinicians play an important role in supporting patient
self-management (education, skills, tools,
encouragement, and resources)
• Resources are available to assist clinicians in
supporting patient self-management

National Quality Center (NQC)
Harlem Hospital
• Our team was part of a one-year national learning
community sponsored by the Institute for
Healthcare Improvement on patient selfmanagement (included 20 sites, 2 other HIV)
• The Family-Centered Care Program (FCP) was
our target population
• Participated in extended follow-up project to
measure sustainability of change
36
National Quality Center (NQC)
Population of Focus
• 25% of FCP patients are
recent immigrants from West
Africa
• The remaining 75% of FCP
patients are predominantly
African-American or Hispanic
• Many face legal, linguistic and
cultural barriers to care
• The self-management model is
well-suited to assist these
patients in overcoming barriers
and achieving better health
outcomes
37
National Quality Center (NQC)
Introducing Self-Management
• Developed a goal setting tool to set a patientdriven healthcare goal and develop an action
plan during the clinic visit
• Developed a model to accomplish this within
the time constraints of the clinic setting

41
Nurse sets goal with pt during triage
Provider reviewed goals with pt during visit
Case manager available to reinforce goals
Goal and action plan filed in patients’ chart
National Quality Center (NQC)
Goal-setting was Patient-Driven
• Easier than expected to generate goals from
patients
• Encouraged the patient to identify the goal
themselves, come with action plan, identify
barriers, come up with solution that worked
for them
• Skills included: asking opening ended
questions, reflective listening, summarizing
42
National Quality Center (NQC)
Impact of Goal-Setting
• Can solve impasse around behavior change
• Gives providers deeper understanding of the
patient
• Improves relationship between patient-nurse
and patient-provider
• Empowers pt to make needed behavior
changes, or at least think about them if they
are not ready
