Foreword

Chronic illness in America imposes an enormous and growing burden on individuals, families, communities, and the nation as a whole. An aging population is one key driver, and rising rates of obesity are making matters worse. Insufficient physical activity and persistent smoking in about 20 percent of the adult population contribute to the problem. For those who are living with chronic disease, access to suitable disease management programs is uneven, disparities among racial and ethnic groups persist, and shortcomings in the quality of care are all too common.

Public health programs have made important inroads in the prevention of several types of cancer, heart disease, and other chronic conditions. However, much remains to be done in primary prevention, initial treatment, and long-term follow-up to deter the onset of disease, reduce the incidence of complications, and diminish the severity of illness. This report examines the role of public health services in accomplishing these goals.

Public health systems have a variety of tools that can be brought to bear on chronic illness. Some are direct public health functions, such as surveillance and regulation; others involve outreach to patients and families through education; some entail closer coordination with those who deliver personal health services; and still others involve enlisting the cooperation of diverse leaders in the public and private sectors. Despite substantial gaps in knowledge and insufficient resources, public health has the capacity to help reduce, manage, and control chronic diseases. This report shows how.

Coping with chronic illness is not America’s challenge alone. In September 2011, for the first time, the United Nations took up the topic of chronic diseases as a principal theme at a plenary gathering. The rising burden of

chronic disease affects countries at every position on the economic spectrum. Each has much to learn from others, recognizing that differences in culture, conditions, and circumstances will demand distinctive solutions. We hope that the report that follows can help the United States bring new leadership to mitigating the burden of chronic illness at home and for the global community.

Abstract

The report Living Well with Chronic Illness: A Call for Public Health Action is a guide for immediate and precise action to reduce the burden of all forms of chronic illness through the development and implementation of cross-cutting and coordinated strategies to help Americans live well.

The committee developed original and incorporated established conceptual models to provide a framework for the report. The report describes the economic consequences of chronic illnesses for individuals, their families, the health care system, and the nation; provides a concerted approach to understanding the dimensions of prevention as they relate to chronic disease control in the community; highlights the populations that experience chronic illnesses disproportionately; considers a wide spectrum of chronic diseases and their clinical stages, their patterns and anticipated course, and the common or cross-cutting burden and consequences of living with chronic illness; details how to improve surveillance systems to better assess and address chronic illnesses; describes the role of public health and community-based interventions for chronic disease management and control; considers the importance of federal policy in enhancing chronic disease control; and highlights the critical role of aligning public health, health care system, and non–health care community services as a system change to better control chronic illnesses.

The committee concludes that all chronic illnesses have the potential to reduce population health by limiting individual capacity to live well. Maintaining or enhancing quality of life for individuals living with chronic illnesses has not been given the attention it needs by health care funders, health systems, policy makers, and public health programs and agencies.

There are domains of chronic disease management from a public health perspective for which there is not enough research or program evaluation. Much more needs to be done.

The committee does not recommend a specific set of diseases on which to focus for public health action. Instead, we describe nine exemplar diseases, health conditions, and impairments that have notable implications for the nation’s health and economy; impact quality of life and functional status; cut across many chronic illnesses; complicate and/or increase risks for multiple chronic conditions (MCCs); and impact the community, families, and caregivers of those with chronic illnesses. Each represents an important challenge to public health. Therefore, the committee recommends that a variety of illnesses be selected for public health action based on a planning process that emphasizes the inclusion of chronic illnesses with cross-cutting clinical, functional, and social implications that impact the individuals who live with them. The committee provides specific criteria for illness selection.

The committee concludes that there are many intervention issues and opportunities related to the prevention and management of MCCs. The committee recommends that surveillance techniques more likely to capture MCCs effectively be explored, and that public health interventions aimed at preventing or altering the course of new illness occurrences in individuals with MCCs, or who are at risk for them, be tested and evaluated. Also, the committee recommends that the states be supported to develop comprehensive population-based strategic plans that focus on the management of chronic illnesses among their residents, including community-based efforts to address the health and social needs of individuals living with chronic illnesses and experiencing disparities in health outcomes.

The committee recommends greater use of new and emerging economic methods in making policy decisions that will promote living well with chronic illnesses. In addition, the committee recommends that evidenced-based interventions that help individuals with chronic illness live well be widely disseminated, particularly in communities with disparities in health outcomes. Barriers for translating research into practice need to be identified and resolved. Furthermore, the committee recommends that federal, state, and privately funded programmatic and research initiatives in health include an evaluation of their effect on health-related quality of life and functional status, particularly in persons with chronic illness. The committee also recommends a Health in All Policies approach, with Health Impact Assessments as a promising practice to be piloted and evaluated for a set of major federal legislation, regulations, and policies for its impact on health, health-related quality of life and functional status for individuals with chronic illness, and relevant efficiencies.

Surveillance systems need to be improved to assess health-related quality of life and functional status and inform the planning, development, implementation, and evaluation of public health policies, programs, and interventions relevant to individuals living with chronic illness. Therefore, the committee recommends that a standing national work group be established to oversee and coordinate multidimensional chronic illnesses surveillance activity.

To improve living well with chronic illness, the committee recommends the testing and evaluation of existing, emerging, and/or new models of chronic disease care that align the resources of community-based organizations, the health care delivery system, employers and businesses, the media, and the academic community. Additional important recommendations are presented in this report regarding research and evaluation, interventions, policies, and surveillance to promote public health action around chronic illness.

In the United States, chronic diseases currently account for 70 percent of all deaths, and close to 48 million Americans report a disability related to a chronic condition. Today, about one in four Americans have multiple diseases and the prevalence and burden of chronic disease in the elderly and racial/ethnic minorities are notably disproportionate. Chronic disease has now emerged as a major public health problem and it threatens not only population health, but our social and economic welfare.

Living Well with Chronic Disease identifies the population-based public health actions that can help reduce disability and improve functioning and quality of life among individuals who are at risk of developing a chronic disease and those with one or more diseases. The book recommends that all major federally funded programmatic and research initiatives in health include an evaluation on health-related quality of life and functional status. Also, the book recommends increasing support for implementation research on how to disseminate effective longterm lifestyle interventions in community-based settings that improve living well with chronic disease.

Living Well with Chronic Disease uses three frameworks and considers diseases such as heart disease and stroke, diabetes, depression, and respiratory problems. The book's recommendations will inform policy makers concerned with health reform in public- and private-sectors and also managers of communitybased and public-health intervention programs, private and public research funders, and patients living with one or more chronic conditions.
