Self-Management Support is . . .
a way of providing health care that "aids
and inspires patients to become informed

Self-Management Support is . . .

patients with chronic disease in order to encourage and
support patient’s daily decisions that improve healthrelated behaviors and clinical outcomes.
▼ A portfolio of techniques and tools that help patients
choose healthy behaviors.

relationship into a collaborative partnership.

Self-Management Patient Education Programs

Medical Office visits (43% below baseline)
Cost ($200 to $650 over four years)
▼ Lorig, K., et al. Medical Care, 1999. In 1999, a randomized trial
suggests that a chronic disease self-management program with
education programs taught by patients (lay leaders) with chronic
illness can improve health status while reducing hospitalization

A Patient-Centered Approach to Primary Care:
The Benefits
▼ Selected aspects of health resource utilization (numbers
of visits to specialty care clinics, hospitalizations, and
laboratory and diagnostic tests) were lower for patients
whose physicians showed higher averages of patientcentered behaviors (or interactions) during the time
period of the study.
▼ In addition, a statistically significant association between
patient-centered care and total charges for health service
utilization during one year of care was demonstrated.

healthcare utilization, Journal of the American Board of Family Medicine, 24(3),

helps train peer
support group
facilitators.
The Use of Group Visits or
Shared Medical Appointments
▼ Group visits or shared medical appointments are another
way to enhance the information and support provided
people living with chronic conditions and to apply SelfManagement Support concepts.
▼ Group Visits create an important and valuable form of peer
support and problem solving. They also provide clinicians
the opportunity to share more in-depth information tailored
to the interests and priorities of patients and families.
▼ Veteran and family advisors bring important perspectives
about management of chronic conditions and it is
recommended that several of these advisors be prepared
and supported in participating on a QI team to plan,
implement, and evaluate group visits.

▼ Demonstrated positive trends in patient perceptions of patient-
provider communication (nine of nine total sites); patient- and
family-centered care (six of nine total sites); and self care (six
of nine total sites);
▼ Improved provider perception that self-management supports
had a positive impact on patient treatment and the patientprovider relationship; cross-site improvements in
organizational measures of chronic illness care, with
significant improvements in organization of health care
delivery and clinical information systems (measured with the
ACIC survey); and
▼ Demonstrated positive trends in clinical and process
outcomes including A1C screening (eight of nine total sites);
A1C levels (six of nine total sites); LDL levels (six of nine total
sites); and blood pressure (five of nine total sites).

In Summary: Self-Management Support is
Encouraging Engagement
▼ This means inviting patients and their families clearly,
explicitly, and probably over and over again to:
Ask questions until they get answers they
understand.
Participate in their care to the extent they want.
Provide you with information only they have.
Share their observations and concerns.
Become a valued member of the health care team.
▼ This means inviting patients and their families to serve
as advisors in advancing the practice of selfmanagement support.
