The document discusses chronic diseases as persistent health issues that affect many communities in the United States and other parts of the world. Common chronic diseases reported over the past 10 years include obesity, diabetes, asthma, arthritis, and cancer. The rising number of chronic disease cases has increased health care costs globally and forced governments to allocate more funding to health sectors. Project management approaches may help address chronic diseases by defining the problems, determining causes, generating solutions, and selecting the best options. However, these approaches also have disadvantages like increased complexity and high costs.

COMMENTS: Solid effort, Maria. Unfortunately, this
assignment needed a good “once-over” prior to final
submission. There were so many concerns – including grammar,
punctuation, sentences made no sense, APA style, etc. – noted
in just the first two paragraphs that I stopped my review of your
assignment at this point. Being that you are in your 11 course in
the program, this is problematic, to say the least. Please see my
feedback below for details. That being said, you must contact
the Academic Success Center (ASC) to work with a writing
coach to address these and other notable issues with your
writing, else you will have a difficult time from here on out in
the program.
As always, when you open this document, make sure you go to
the toolbar at the top of your screen and click the ‘Review’ link.
From there, go to the right, click the dropdown, then click ‘All
Markup’ to view all of my feedback (including any Track
Changes, highlighted in-text comments, and ‘Comments’

2. Chronic illness is human diseases that are persistent or
considered to be long-lasting in their effects.
In the United States, particularly the State of Florida, this is a
common health issue
that affects many groups of people. The common public health
issues that have been reported over the past 10
years include obesity, diabetes, asthma,
arthritis, and cancer (Chapel, Ritchey, Zhang, & Wang
, 2017). However, the most rampant diseases that have to bring
adverse effects in most communities in the United States and
other parts of the world are obesity, asthma, and diabetes.
Chronic diseases are some of the most rampant health issues
that affect many communities in Florida State and other areas of
the United States.
The problem arises from human living conditions, unlike acute
illness, which is considered to occur through supernatural
means. According to the Centers for Diseases Control and
Prevention
(CDC), the issue of chronic diseases started to attract the
attention of members of the public in early 2000 (Chapel et al.,
2017).
Cases of Diabetes and obesity have topped the list as many
conditions relating to such are reported to be high in many
regions in the United States. Since 2005, the United States has
been spending a considerable part of its budget to sought
chronic disease cases that are currently rampant among the
middle and old age Americans.
Unlike acute illness, chronic disease cases have rapidly grown
over the past ten years. Currently, chronic illness is considered
a lifestyle condition because they affect many people both in
American communities and in other parts of the world. The
issue of chronic diseases has led to an increase in the cost of
health services in many countries across the globe. At the

3. moment, governments of different nations across are forced to
increase their allocation for health sectors to provide solutions
with the rising cases of chronic diseases (Dinh et al., 2016). As
such, it is of more importance to discuss this that has
governments of different countries across the world to intervene
(Reiners et al., 2019).
Secondly, chronic diseases issue adversely affect all classes of
people regardless of the social classes. For example, people
experiencing chronic illness in the United States and the United
Kingdom comprises of both low and middle levels. Therefore, it
is imperative to address these issues to help to find possible
solutions that can help to reduce chronic diseases with have
claimed the lives of many people in different parts of the world
(Reiners et al., 2019).
Project management approaches are techniques that are
practiced universally in planning, controlling, and estimating
activities to assist in solving the existing problem. The issue of
chronic disease requires proper planning, arrangement, and
execution of operations to solve it. As such, there is a need to
apply this approach to solve the problem of chronic diseases
that has outstanding effects in the health sector across the world
(Reiners et al., 2019).
Essentially, project management aids in defining the problem to
enrich knowledge about the problem. In this case, the technique
will help health professionals to understand what specific
chronic diseases are and why they affect many people of
different ages. Secondly, project management will help to
determine the cause of chronic issues to help to implement ways
to prevent them since they are lifestyle health conditions. Using
a fishbone diagram, it can be possible the leading cause of
chronic diseases such as diabetes and obesity to find the most
appropriate method that should apply to prevent such issues
(Reiners et al., 2019).

4. The project management approach also can help in generating
ideas that can be used to address the problem. It encourages
brainstorming and mind mapping that can help in coming up
with ideas and concepts. Therefore, there is a need to use a
project management approach to solve health care issues
affecting most people across the world.
The project management approach usually helps in selecting the
best solution to use in problem-solving. To address the issue of
chronic disease, health practitioners should consider the best
choice that can help in solving the problems. As well, this
approach is capable of enabling health professionals to choose
the best option among other sources that will help to resolve
chronic health issues (Reiners et al., 2019).
The application of the project management approach in solving
the issue of chronic diseases in the United States and other parts
of the world has both advantages and disadvantages.
Pros
1. Efficient Goal Setting
The use of the approach in addressing chronic disease issues
can help in setting better goals that can assist in finding the best
way of dealing with chronic disease issues. An efficient system
will aid in setting SMART goals (Rush et al., 2018).
2. Accurate Risk Assessment
The project management approach can help inaccurate risk
assessment associated with the issue under study. It ensures that
proper communication is maintained in various stages of finding
the most appropriate method of solving chronic disease issues
(Rush et al., 2018).
Cons of Project Management Approach

5. 1. Increased Complexity
The project management approach involves a complicated
process with various stages. When the plan is applied to solve
chronic disease issues, the process used can go for long thus can
complicate the process. Therefore, this approach might not be
the most appropriate method of addressing chronic disease
issues in the health sector (Rush et al., 2018).
2. High Cost
The project management approach requires colossal capital to
facilitate all steps needed to achieve the goals of the project.
The processes involved in this approach comprises of the
training process that might increases the cost of solving chronic
disease issues (Rush et al., 2018). Thus, it might not be the best
way of solving the problem under the study.
The primary purpose of this study is to eradicate chronic
conditions through various approaches such as education,
creating public awareness, prevention of infection, and
decreasing the causes of death. Another goal of this project is to
focus on solving the two major chronic diseases that are obesity
and diabetes, which are common among many people all over
the world (Rush et al., 2018).
The range of this research will perform in-depth analysis to
identify the most appropriate methods of solving chronic
diseases affecting various groups of people. The project will
assess the possible challenges that might be involved when
addressing chronic issues.
