Disease Management (Physical Domain)

Understanding the natural history of disease is crucial to providing good care for patients with advanced illness.  Additionally, knowing principles in disease management, especially when disease is advanced and complex is crucial.  For example, caring for patients with breathlessness due to advanced heart failure requires management of the underlying illness, the heart failure, to help alleviate the dyspnea.
