Background: Self-care management support programs assume a complex sequence of effects. Developers expect these programs to change patients’ behavior by increasing the patients’ self-efficacy and knowledge. Improved behavior is expected to lead to better disease control which should, in turn, lead to better patient outcomes and reduced utilization of health care services, particularly preventable emergency room visits and hospitalizations, and to reduced costs. This sequence of assumptions gives self-management support programs multiple objectives and multiple endpoints for evaluation. The pivotal objective, however, is to change people’s behavior.
In Word, you will create an introductory design of a self-management program with strategies to support improved outcomes in a particular chronic illness. Use the bold topics as level one headings in your paper. You are not to explain what a self-care management program is. You are to create base introductory content for one. Use the required reading as resources.
Self-Care Management Program: The first step in designing a self-management support process is identifying the point of management and its need. Examples could include primary care, inpatient hospital, telemedicine, sleep clinic, community home care, etc. Identify and describe the chronic illness. Include lifespan influences. Address the primary goal and two program goals with an ideal outcome. Include literature support for the benefit of self-management programs related to chronic illness. Self-care management programs provide both coaching and patient education. The provider is involved but not the main focus. The patient is the main focus, and other staff members have specific roles.
Key Resources and Activities: Include the following as level two headings.
- Staffing: Identify who will be doing the coaching and education as well as other support needed.
- Content of the Support: Include outside resources.
- Patient Population Served
- Information Support
- Protocols: How staff members are to provide the support.
- Staff Training
- Communication With Patients: How this will occur.
- Team Communication: Between providers and self-management support teams.
Self-Management Action Plan: Address three self-management actions of the patient that they will be taught and the associated goals. Include how clinical decisions will be discussed to facilitate shared decision-making. How does health literacy impact the plan’s development?
Evaluation: Address how the program will be evaluated. Identify at least two specific measures and criteria.
Appendix A: Structure model. Using SmartArt, create a simplistic visual representation of the self-management program with key points and an overview. Research for ideas and examples.
Include 3–5 pages of content in the paper, including an introduction and conclusion. Ensure the title page, reference page, and Appendix A are also included. These do not count toward the base page count. Be concise vs elaborative.
Writing and Format: The assignment must demonstrate proper APA formatting as directed in the APA Publication Manual, 7th edition, including a title page and reference list, introduction, and conclusion with properly formatted citations in the body of the assignment.

ANSWER
Self-management programs are necessary to change patients’ behaviors, particularly among individuals with chronic illnesses. These programs increase patients’ self-efficacy and knowledge, thus allowing patients to become effective in managing their conditions. As a result, patients with improved behavior experience improved outcomes, which reduce hospitalizations and readmissions while also lowering the costs of care. Therefore, this paper shall identify a specific chronic illness. In this case, the paper will focus on xxxx among older adults. This group often experiences complications due to age-related changes. Therefore, this paper will outline a behavior-focused self-care management program designed to support better health outcomes.
