Abstract
In this issue we include a range of important papers that contribute across the domains of the chronic care model (CCM). The chronic care model was described in Bodenheimer et al. in the second of two seminal papers back in 2002; they describe what should be the components of a health system that is better adapted to manage chronic disease.
Highlights
In this issue, we include a range of important papers that contribute across the domains of the chronic care model (CCM)
The clinical information system papers cover the following areas of the CCM: privacy,[6] the importance of selecting code ranges carefully when conducting research based on routine primary care data[7] and an editorial that looks to move the UK debate about extracting primary care data to one of a careful exposition of the benefit–risk ratio.[8]
The first paper addresses the issues of how self-management support can lead to an informed activated patient who works closely with an informed activated team
Summary
We include a range of important papers that contribute across the domains of the chronic care model (CCM). This issue includes papers from each of these domains, and illustrated the impact of informatics across health care. The clinical information systems papers are, unsurprisingly for an informatics journal, the largest group.
