摘要

The number of Americans with chronic conditions has steadily increased in recent decades. Almost half of the American population suffers from chronic illness, the leading cause of death and disability in the U.S. Defined as conditions that last a year or more and require ongoing care and/or limit activities of daily living, chronic conditions include hypertension, respiratory diseases, arthritis, heart disease, diabetes, cancer, and dementia, among others. While it may not be surprising that more and more Americans have a chronic condition, what is striking is that almost one in four Americans (approximately 75 million people) have multiple chronic conditions (MCCs). It is not uncommon in today's hospitals and outpatient clinics for clinicians to examine and treat patients with five, six, or even seven chronic conditions. Remarkably, older adults with five or more chronic illnesses have, on average, 50 prescriptions filled, see 14 different physicians, and make 37 physician office visits per year.
