title: Chronic disease management.
abstract: Stifling a yawn is sometimes one's first reaction to talk of chronic disease management. While at a student tutorial the other day, I noticed there was a definite glazing over of eyes when the talk turned to care plans and Medicare item numbers. But, what really did engage the students was the discussion that followed on the broad spectrum of exactly what chronic disease management entails.
