Chronic heart failure is a growing public health problem for prevalence, morbidity and costs. The major proportion of costs is attributable to rehospitalizations and many of these readmissions may be preventable. Since 1990, some investigators have tested a variety of disease management programs designed to improve quality of life, functional status and decrease rehospitalizations rates. We identified these studies by a computerized search of the MEDLINE database. The programs described reflected a wide variety of methods and we categorized these programs recognizing the prevalent disease management approach. We reported the results of these trials about rehospitalizations and analysed a number of limitations that must be considered when determining their adoption into clinical practice.

Disease management is a systematic approach to improving care of populations of patients with specificclinical conditions. Critical to success are the formation of collaborative teams of health carestakeholders, development and promulgation of clinical practice guidelines, and performancemeasurement and feedback to providers as a process of continuous practice improvement.This article describes a disease management program for patients with coronary artery disease in aprovincial health district with a population of 180,000. It discusses the rationale and methods behindthe operationalisation of the main program elements, benefits achieved to date and challengesconfronted.
