Treating chronic conditions composes the bulk of medical practice. The majority of risk factors for heart disease, diabetes, cancer, arthritis and more are closely aligned with social, demographic, environmental, economic and geographical factors. The American Medical Association provides the resources to help practices engage patients in better self-management that focuses on disease prevention and wellness.
With articles, guides, CME and other resources, AMA gives physician practices and health systems the actionable, evidence-based strategies to work with patients to prevent disease and integrate hospital and community-based resources to address underlying risk factors.
