Population Health Approach for Multiple Chronic Conditions
Problem of Multiple Chronic Conditions may not be addressed in the Current Disease
Activities
The issue of the multiple chronic situations may not be adequately addressed in the
current disease activities because individuals are not keenly following the proposed living
standards. For instance, increasing obesity makes the matter worse by increasing the chances of
chronic diseases. Also, people are persistently smoking in high number in the adult population,
which contributes to worsening the issue (Parekh et al., 2011). Besides individuals are having
insufficient physical activities which are a threat to their health. These behavioral choices are
leading to an increased incidence of chronic disease. Chronic disease treatment is also extremely
costly in terms of the affordability of healthcare coverage.
The problem of multiple chronic conditions also may not be sufficiently addressed in the
present disease doings because patients are failing to attend the clinic for checkups (Fineberg,
2012). People who are suffering from chronic diseases are not accessing the right disease
controlling programs. Besides, there are disparities amongst ethnic and racial groups which
hinder appropriate treatment to the patients. The other challenge hindering the adequate chronic
disease treatment is a shortcoming in the quality of care due to lack of proper medication and
right professionals.
The other challenge to adequate addressing of the chronic disease in the current disease
activities is that many people are still engaging in risky behaviors such as poor diet and ignoring
the known threats like family history that which leads to a dramatic increase of the multiple
chronic conditions. Additionally, people skip their own body's preventive maintenance warning,
which leads to making poor decisions concerning their health. Thus, the collective poor health
