TI  - Drastically improving health care with focus on managing the patient with a 
      disease: the macro and micro perspective.
PG  - 4-8
AB  - The disease management approach to improving health care, at the systems as well 
      as the hospital level, has proved to be very powerful, producing unprecedented 
      results in reducing costs while improving quality of care and patient 
      satisfaction. The Boston Consulting Group (BCG), working with a variety of 
      leading managed care providers and pharmaceutical clients, has pioneered the 
      development and dissemination of the disease management concept. Describes the 
      disease management approach at the system level and shows results achieved so 
      far. Shows also how the application of the logic of disease management within the 
      boundaries of a single hospital leads to fundamental changes and quantum-leap 
      results. In outlining the key success factors for a change process following the 
      disease management approach, focusing on the patient with a disease, shows how 
      the approach differs from traditional hospital re-engineering.
