all of the following:

care;
(2) Emphasize prevention of exacerbations and complications
of medical conditions using evidence-based practice guidelines and
patient empowerment strategies;

an ongoing basis with the goal of improving overall health.

contracts that the department enters into with other state

for the other state agencies to include the disease management
component in the component of the medicaid program that the other
state agency administers pursuant to the contract.
