WASHINGTON--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Feb. 10, 2005--Successful disease management across broad populations depends on adopting a new health care model. At the model's foundation is the delivery of information prescriptions to support personalized health decisions, according to a white paper by the Center for Information Therapy (CIT).

In "Improving Population Care and Disease Management Using Ix Principles," Joshua Seidman, PhD, executive director of the CIT, and Paul Wallace, MD, executive director of the Kaiser Permanente Care Management Institute, detail the new care model to show health care providers and systems how this strategy better supports patients' self-care and decision-making needs.
