The acronym "CDM condition" most likely refers to a chronic disease management (CDM) condition, which is a specific health condition that is targeted for structured care and management programs aimed at improving patient outcomes and reducing healthcare costs.
Specifically, the chronic conditions often included in Chronic Disease Management (CDM) programs are:
- Type 2 Diabetes
- Asthma
- Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD)
- Cardiovascular Disease, including:
- Heart Failure
- Ischaemic Heart Disease
- Cerebrovascular Disease (Stroke/Transient Ischemic Attack, Atrial Fibrillation)
These conditions are chosen because they are prevalent, often require long-term care, and can be effectively managed through coordinated interventions involving healthcare providers, patients, and sometimes caregivers. Effective CDM programs involve patient education, self-management support, regular monitoring, and timely interventions to prevent complications and improve quality of life.
