PG  - 4-8
AB  - The disease management approach to improving health care, at the system 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. Defines the 
      disease management approach and outlines how it differs from the traditional 
      component management approach. Also describes the key elements of disease 
      management, characteristics to look for in a candidate disease, and results 
      achieved so far. Finally, discusses the three strategic roles a healthcare player 
      can take in disease management.
