The Chronic Care Model provides a framework for patient centered care. The goal of the Chronic Care Model is for patients and providers to work together to define problems, set priorities, establish goals, create treatment plans such as a medication plan. Thus, self-management of medications and adherence, as described by the Chronic Care Model, requires provider-patient partnerships and providers have the responsibility of ensuring patients are adequately supported to engage in self-management activities like managing medications.
