chronic care
Persistent condition management
Chronic care is ongoing medical management for conditions that persist over time rather than resolving quickly—diabetes, heart disease, asthma, arthritis.
Unlike acute care for sudden illness or injury, chronic care focuses on long-term monitoring, symptom management, and slowing disease progression: The clinic specializes in chronic care for elderly patients.
