Chronic illness care is the coordinated, comprehensive, and sustained response to these
diseases and associated conditions—from initial diagnosis to the end of life—by a range of
health care professionals, formal and informal caregivers, and health care and community-based
systems. In the United States, individuals with MCCs account for a large share of
health service utilization and associated costs: 93% of Medicare spending; 83% of prescription
drug costs; 71% of all health care spending; 70% of acute hospital stays; and 64% of outpatient
visits. The costs of Social Security and Medicare are expected to grow faster than the gross
domestic product due to the aging US population, which will result in projected financing
shortfalls for these programs.
The new edition incorporates the impact that health inequities exposed by the COVID-19 pandemic has on chronic illness care and outcomes.
