Wagner's Chronic Care Model

Wagner's Chronic Care Model is a framework designed to improve the care of people with chronic diseases. It emphasizes the importance of organized healthcare systems, informed patients, and productive interactions between patients and providers. The model includes six key components: community resources, health system support, self-management education for patients, decision support for providers, clinical information systems, and a focus on the patient’s needs and preferences. By integrating these elements, the model aims to enhance health outcomes and quality of life for individuals managing long-term health conditions.
