Topic: Chronic Conditions

A chronic condition is defined as a condition that lasts 12 months or longer and meets one or both of the following tests: (a) it places limitations on self-care, independent living, and social interactions; (b) it results in the need for ongoing intervention with medical products, services, and special equipment. AHRQ has research, tools and resources to help clinicians assist their patients who have chronic conditions.
