📄 Abstract
Disease management has evolved from reactive treatment into an integrated system combining prevention, early detection, clinical intervention, surveillance, patient self-management, and population-level response. This study examines the core components of contemporary disease management and their applicability to Vietnam. A qualitative integrative review and conceptual synthesis were conducted using literature on evidence-based public health, chronic disease management, self-management, community intervention, and disease surveillance. Three findings emerge. First, effective disease management depends on integrating clinical care with preventive and public-health functions rather than treating them as separate activities. Second, modern disease management operates as a continuous cycle of prevention, detection and assessment, intervention, monitoring, patient engagement, community action, and post-event evaluation. Third, Vietnam has an institutional foundation for applying this approach through its surveillance system, provincial Centers for Disease Control, hospitals, laboratories, and community-based public-health activities. However, stronger data integration, risk-based surveillance, preparedness, primary healthcare capacity, public communication, and equitable digital transformation are required. The study argues that Vietnam should develop disease management as an adaptive health-system architecture rather than a set of isolated programmes, thereby improving preparedness, continuity of care, resource allocation, and resilience against communicable and non-communicable diseases.
