 Member Organizations Comment on DHHS Draft Framework on Multiple Chronic Conditions

The Draft Strategic Framework on MCC is a result of a DHHS Interagency Working Group dedicated to finding innovative ways to address chronic diseases over a five-year period with new and pilot programs. 

Individuals with COPD and MCC may take large numbers of prescription medications, see multiple different doctors and have severe functional limitations, all of which lead to the need for a new way of treating the “whole” individual. 
 
The draft plan aims to realize optimum health and quality of life for individuals with multiple chronic conditions.
 
The need for the DHHS initiative stems from the increased numbers of people suffering from MCC combined with the complexity of our health care system, especially for patients who have to see different specialists to treat each chronic condition they are experiencing.
