medical management
Doctor-supervised treatment approach
Medical management is treatment of a condition through nonsurgical means—medication, lifestyle changes, physical therapy, or monitoring—as opposed to surgical intervention.
Doctors often try medical management first: We'll attempt medical management before considering surgery.
The term also refers to administrative oversight of healthcare delivery, including cost control and utilization review.
