Innovations in Wellness and Disease Management

This educational activity consists of recorded presentations from the 2011 Innovations in Wellness and Disease Management conference held in Miami Beach, Florida on February 3-4, 2011.
This activity focuses on a proactive approach to health care management that promotes effective, personalized health care and targeted wellness strategies both to prevent chronic diseases and improve the quality of life for those living with them. Conference faculty will identify successful methods to promote positive health behaviors through education, motivation and behavior change, as well as to empower consumers to make wiser health care decisions and live healthier lifestyles. Additionally, this conference will address how successful chronic disease management can make a real difference by helping to prevent health crises and deterioration, while enabling people living with chronic conditions to attain the best possible quality of life.
Chronic diseases—such as heart disease, stroke, cancer, diabetes, and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease—are among the most common, costly, and preventable of all health problems in the United States. Although in most cases these illnesses are beyond cure by the time they are diagnosed, they do respond to medical management. The World Health Organization has predicted that such conditions will be the leading cause of disability by 2020 and, if not successfully managed, will contribute to the most expensive challenges for health care systems.
