What are some of the best cost-effective intervention strategies healthcare organizations can put in place to reduce or eliminate these health disparities?

In a 2013 study, the CDC found that one of every three Americans suffers from at least one chronic condition. More than two-thirds (69%) of the Medicare patients in the study suffered from two or more chronic conditions, and a third of all Medicare patients had four or more chronic conditions.
The cost of these illnesses is considerable. The CDC has estimated that about 85% of Federal healthcare dollars are allocated to the treatment of chronic conditions. For just the top seven most prevalent chronic diseases, the estimated cost of treatment is $1.3 trillion. As the U.S. population ages, the number of chronically ill is anticipated to increase, putting a growing burden on our healthcare system.
Based on the information provided what are some of the best cost-effective intervention strategies healthcare organizations can put in place to reduce or eliminate these health disparities?
