N2 - In developed countries, chronic disease now accounts for more than 75% of health care expenditure and nearly an equivalent percentage of disease-related deaths [1]. The burden of chronic disease (often, but not exclusively, associated with ageing) includes congestive heart failure (CHF), chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), hypertension and diabetes. Over the past several decades there has been an epidemiological shift in disease burden from acute to chronic diseases that has rendered acute care models of health service delivery inadequate to address population health needs.
