Abstract

Chronic diseases, such as diabetes, heart disease, and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), persist over a year and necessitate ongoing medical attention or limit daily activities, posing significant challenges to global healthcare systems and economies. Chronic disease management programs (CDMPs) aim to provide comprehensive, patient- centered care worldwide. This review synthesizes evidence from diverse studies, including observational research, systematic reviews, randomized trials, and retrospective analyses, to evaluate CDMP effectiveness across different populations and settings. Positive impacts include Chronic Disease Self- Management Education workshops reducing loneliness among older adults, eHealth interventions enhancing self- management skills and quality of life for chronic kidney disease patients, and lifestyle interventions benefiting cardiovascular health in low-income women. Technological innovations, such as personalized messaging systems, have improved engagement in diabetes prevention. CDMPs are pivotal in enhancing clinical outcomes, patient satisfaction, and reducing healthcare utilization through tailored, multidisciplinary approaches integrating technology. Challenges include ensuring consistent implementation and addressing access disparities. Future research should refine strategies, assess long-term sustainability, and explore innovative approaches to optimize chronic disease management globally. Continuous evolution of CDMPs is essential to mitigate chronic disease impacts, improving health outcomes and quality of life globally.

Keywords: Chronic diseases, CDMPs, patient-centered care, effectiveness evaluation, multidisciplinary approaches, global health
