Effectiveness of care models for chronic disease management: A scoping review of systematic reviews

Abstract

ObjectiveTo conduct a scoping review of models of care for chronic disease management to identify potentially effective components for management of chronic traumatic brain injury (TBI).MethodsInformation sources: Systematic searches of three databases (Ovid MEDLINE, Embase, and Cochrane Database of Systematic Reviews) from January 2010 to May 2021. Eligibility criteria: Systematic reviews and meta‐analyses reporting on the effectiveness of the Chronic Care Model (CCM), collaborative/integrated care, and other chronic disease management models. Data: Target diseases, model components used (n = 11), and six outcomes (disease‐specific, generic health‐related quality of life and functioning, adherence, health knowledge, patient satisfaction, and cost/health care use). Synthesis: Narrative synthesis, including proportion of reviews documenting outcome benefits.ResultsMore than half (55%) of the 186 eligible reviews focused on collaborative/integrated care models, with 25% focusing on CCM and 20% focusing on other chronic disease management models. The most common health conditions were diabetes (n = 22), depression (n = 16), heart disease (n = 12), aging (n = 11), and kidney disease (n = 8). Other single medical conditions were the focus of 22 reviews, multiple medical conditions of 59 reviews, and other or mixed mental health/behavioral conditions of 20 reviews. Some type of quality rating for individual studies was conducted in 126 (68%) of the reviews. Of reviews that assessed particular outcomes, 80% reported disease‐specific benefits, and 57% to 72% reported benefits for the other five types of outcomes. Outcomes did not differ by the model category, number or type of components, or target disease.ConclusionsAlthough there is a paucity of evidence for TBI per se, care model components proven effective for other chronic diseases may be adaptable for chronic TBI care.

Exploration of Inflammatory Biomarkers and Psychological Cardiovascular Disease Risk Factors Among Community Dwelling Adults: A Gender Comparison Study

“…For example, a high percentage of patients with RA experience concomitant osteoporosis (Ketabforoush et al, 2023). In line with the chronic care model, individuals with chronic conditions should be provided adequate information to help them make important health-related decisions and access available community care resources (Boocha & Ploylearmsang, 2023;Kroenke et al, 2023). Thus, community healthcare professionals should provide sufficient RD-related health information to raise public awareness of CRFs, empower community residents affected by RD, and facilitate the early detection and prevention of CRFs in individuals with RD.…”
