【 摘 要 】

In the early 1990s, the Stanford Patient Education Research Center developed the Chronic Disease Self-Management Program (CDSMP) to test the hypothesis that people with comorbid conditions could benefit when placed in a common intervention. At that time, the existing paradigm consisted of having patients attend only disease-specific education programs. In 2013 alone, 50–100,000 people in 36 countries attended the CDSMP. How did this happen? We do not know the answer, but have some ideas. The following is a brief history and some key insights.
