In recent years, the practice of neurology has begun moving toward the management of patients with long-term problems requiring continuing comprehensive care. Neurologists need to be educated in the principles of chronic disease management in order to effectively meet the needs of patients for whom neurologic impairments are the significant factor in their lives.
