Jette, Alan M.
- Abstract
The author talks about the state of U.S. healthcare and its problems such as rising rates of preventable chronic conditions, the increasing cost of care, and poor application of evidence-based prevention and management strategies. Topics include the concept of high-need, high-cost (HNHC) patients, or those with three or more chronic conditions coupled with a functional limitation to daily activities, care management models for HNHC patients, and the misalignment of U.S. health care resources.
