Cost-effectiveness of promoting population health management through education, seminars, and participatory learning for individuals diagnosed with chronic diseases

Population health management is a sustainable, strategic, and interprofessional collaboration that focuses on the health needs of individuals diagnosed with and living with chronic diseases. A chronic disease is defined as a longstanding health condition that persists for more than a year and requires ongoing medical care, such as heart disease, cancer, and diabetes. Since many chronic diseases are incurable, the management and financial burden of chronic diseases remain significant concerns for individuals, clinicians, and health-care systems. Preventing and managing chronic diseases through health promotion and education continues to be a fundamental cost-effective strategy. Educational seminars and participatory learning for individuals with chronic diseases play an important role in improving health outcomes and reducing health-care costs. This perspective aims to highlight objective insights into how health education contributes to cost-effectiveness and strategic population health management.
