Reported experience of patients with single or multiple chronic diseases: empirical evidence from Italy.

Strategies that are significantly associated with satisfaction and perception of better disease self-management were the same for both single and multiple chronic patients. The delivery of care based on the Siena CCM does not seem to make a difference in the perception of better self-management and overall satisfaction for all the patients. Other concurrent strategies implemented by the regional government in Tuscany on primary care monitoring and health promotion could partially explain why CCM does not have a significant influence.
