Merge[edit]

Should this be merged with the article on Case management?

yes Earlypsychosis (talk) 07:01, 25 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

No. Have now made some changes. this should be kept as the more general term. Earlypsychosis (talk) 08:26, 2 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

NO. Case management is a specific test, often done by a case manager. Disease management is more related to a larger strategy of putting together a framework for managing a clinical condition. For example, a case manager may shepherd Mrs. X who has diabetes. A company engaged in disease management made develop new tests, pharmaceuticals, or services to better manage a clinical condition, e.g., diabetes, across populations (even if the tools can be applied in a personalized medicine approach). — Preceding unsigned comment added by Expedient Innovation (talk • contribs) 01:51, 2 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

NO. It should be generalized. Disease management covers at least three different groups with similarities and differences in management techniques and governing ethics: diseases of humans, wild and domestic animals, and crops and other plants. In disease management humans are apart from other anmals because of sheer numbers of hosts and difference in emphasis and ethics. But there are strong similarities. Diseases causing crop failure devastate whole nations and can be as profound as the worst human diseases. All shoudl be examined jointly in a Wikipedia article on Disease Management. — Preceding unsigned comment added by ModalPeak (talk • contribs) 21:01, 24 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Closing this merge discussion given the lack of consensus or support for a specific proposal, over many years. Klbrain (talk) 10:06, 7 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Proposed merge with Disease management (health)[edit]

These two articles seem to be talking about the same subject. If they're really the same thing, then we should merge them. WhatamIdoing (talk) 06:19, 5 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Closing, given no support over more than 2 years; the discussion in previous sections also indicates that there are opposing opinions. Klbrain (talk) 10:10, 7 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]
