Despite Efforts to Date, the Chronic Care
Challenge is Growing

• Over the next 10 years, the global incidence of
  chronic disease is predicted to increase by 17,
  further fueling the global burden of disease.
  Several factors account for this driving force
• The success of modern healthcare in transforming
  formerly lethal diseases, injuries, and
  conditions (e.g., HIV, spinal cord injuries,
  diabetes, tuberculosis, and multiple sclerosis)
  into chronic conditions that require continuous
  treatment
• Reductions in premature mortality and increasing
  longevity resulting in longer-lived chronic
  conditions and health-related dependencies and
• Increases in the behaviors (e.g., unhealthy diet,
  physical inactivity, and tobacco use) that
  significantly contribute to many prevalent
  chronic diseases.
• Cultural and expectation changes
