Study: Chronic Disease Self-Management Program Helps Achieve Triple Aim

Stanford (Calif.) University’s Chronic Disease Self-Management Program, a mobile, community workshop-style educational seminar for patients battling chronic disease, is an effective tool for improving the patient experience of care, improving population health and reducing per-capita healthcare costs, according to a study published in the journal Medical Care.

Researchers examined data from 1,170 CDSMP participants from baseline, six-month and 12-month assessments on triple aim-related outcome measures, including:

•    Better health: overall health, pain, fatigue and depression

•    Better healthcare: patient-physician-communication, medication compliance and confidence completing medical forms

•    Better value: emergency room visits and hospitalizations in the past six months.

Results indicated improvements across all outcome measures between the baseline and 12-month assessments, with the exception of reductions in hospitalization, which were only evident at the six-month assessment.

The study concluded CDSMP is a useful tool for achieving the triple aim on the national level for people with chronic conditions.
