Abstract
This chapter places the concept of chronicity within the context of the Quality Health Outcomes Model (QHOM) and explores its relevance to nursing care and research. Four evidence-based models are described within the context of the QHOM: The Chronic Care Model, Innovative Care for Chronic Conditions, The Chronic Disease Self-Management Program, and The Transitional Care Model. The co-occurrence of multiple chronic conditions or multimorbidity is also discussed within the context of complex adaptive care. Finally, implications and future directions for research and clinical care are identified.
