The Chronic Disease Self-Management Program is a workshop given two and a half hours, once a week, for six weeks, in community settings such as senior centers, churches, libraries and hospitals. People with different chronic health problems attend together. Workshops are facilitated by two trained leaders, one or both of whom are non-health professionals with chronic diseases themselves.

While I agree with a lot of your presumptions, it is important to remember that physicians in clinical practice are primarily responsible for delivering care to individual patients, not population management. There are other professionals for that function. Clinicians should not be expected to perform population management. This is one of the main reasons clinicians have such aversion to EHR’s (please log in to Sermo if you need proof).
Our EHR allows us to manage our diabetics between myself, my CDE and RD. Reminders are immensely helpful, not only for clinical purposes but also for risk reduction. I don’t use decision support – it is counter-productive and conflicts with the need to provide individualized care/treatment options for patients. Again, this is a futile attempt by EHR-backers, and must be eliminated as a criteria of MU.
