Abstract
This article reviews the assumptions that underpin the
commonly implemented Chronic Disease Self-Management
models. Namely that there are a clear set of instructions for
patients to comply with, that all health care providers agree
with; and that the health care provider and the patient agree
with the chronic disease self-management plan that was
developed as part of a consultation. These assumptions are
evaluated for their validity in the remote health care context,
particularly for Aboriginal people. These assumptions have
been found to lack validity in this context, therefore an
alternative model to enhance chronic disease care is
proposed.
