J Health Care Poor Underserved. 2014 Nov;25(4):1723-9. doi: 10.1353/hpu.2014.0176.

Abstract

The integrated chronic disease management model provides a systematic framework for creating a fundamental change in the orientation of the health system. This model adopts a diagonal approach to health system strengthening by establishing a service-linked base to training, supervision, and the opportunity to try out, assess, and implement integrated interventions.
