Impact of Integrating Social and Health Home Care Services in Catalonia: A Retrospective Cohort-Based Two-Year Study
Integration of social and health HCSs resulted in a shift from institutionalization services to primary care services and day care centers, prolonging recipients' lives in their homes
Integrated Health and Social Home Care Services in Catalonia: Professionals’ Perception of its Implementation, Barriers, and Facilitators
Our study showed that the degree of implementation of integrated health and social HCS offered by the Government of Catalonia was perceived as low. The identified barriers and facilitators can be used to facilitate such implementation. Further studies should include professionals other than social workers in PHC assessments

Characteristics and Service Utilization by Complex Chronic and Advanced Chronic Patients in Catalonia: A Retrospective Seven-Year Cohort-Based Study of an Implemented Chronic Care Program
The Chronic Care Program introduced in Catalonia in 2011 focuses on improving the identification and management of complex chronic (CCPs) and advanced chronic patients (ACPs) by implementing an individualized care model. Its first stage is their identification based on chronicity, difficult clinical management (i.e., complexity), and, in ACPs, limited life prognosis. Subsequent stages are individual evaluation and implementation of a shared perso…
A Multi-Domain Group-Based Intervention to Promote Physical Activity, Healthy Nutrition, and Psychological Wellbeing in Older People with Losses in Intrinsic Capacity: Amicope Development Study
The World Health Organization has developed the Integrated Care of Older People (ICOPE) strategy, a program based on the measurement of intrinsic capacity (IC) as "the composite of all physical and mental attributes on which an individual can draw". Multicomponent interventions appear to be the most effective approach to enhance IC and to prevent frailty and disability since adapted physical activity is the preventive intervention that has shown …
Primary Care Professionals’ Self-Efficacy Surrounding Advance Care Planning and Its Link to Sociodemographics, Background and Perceptions: A Cross-Sectional Study
Professionals with previous background and those who have a positive perception of ACP are more likely to feel able to carry out ACP processes with patients
Reliability, Validity, and Feasibility of the Frail-VIG Index
The study aimed to assess the reliability of the scores, evidence of validity, and feasibility of the Frail-VIG index. A validation study mixing hospitalized and community-dwelling older people was designed. Intraclass correlation coefficient (ICC) was used to assess the inter-rater agreement and the reliability. The construct validity of the Frail-VIG index with respect to the Frailty Phenotype (FP) was evaluated by calculating the area under th…
Determinants of health literacy in the general population: Results of the Catalan health survey
Catalonia has a high percentage of subjects with sufficient HL. Education level, socioeconomic status and physical limitations were the factors with the strongest contribution to inadequate or problematic health literacy. Although these results are likely to be country-specific, the factors identified will allow policymakers of areas with similar socioeconomic profiles to identify groups with high risk of problematic or inadequate HL, which is es…

Moreover, the comparison between healthcare centres or territories on a population basis, and the transparent and open feedback of results to policy makers, managers, professionals and citizens contributes directly to improve results.Description of pol…
Health risk assessment and stratification in an integrated care scenario
Background: Health risk assessment and stratification have proven highly relevant for large-scale implementation of integrated care by facilitating services design and case identification.Aim: The principal objective was to analyse five health-risk assessment strategies used in the five regions participating in the Advancing Care Coordination and TeleHealth Deployment (ACT) program (www.act-programme.eu): Scotland (UK), Basque Country (ES), Catal…
Comparison of predictive risk modeling among 5 European regions in the ACT project
Background: Predictive risk modeling elaborated from large population-based datasets using citizens traits, including historical information on use of healthcare resources, as potential predictors have shown to be useful mainly for two purposes: (i) to design health policies, with a preventive approach, in a given geographical area; and, (ii) to identify individuals with high risk for presenting undesirable health events (case finding) such as ho…
Management of health crisis in nursing homes by adapting hospital-at-home integrated care programs: A local experience from Catalonia
It is essential to find new models of care adapted to older residents in social institutions, due to the increasing health complexity of users of these long term care settings. If hospital staff could be effective in managing health crisis in nursing homes, in a more integrated approach, it is unclear
Years experience of developing an Integrated Care Model for people with dementia in Catalonia
Introduction: Dementia is a chronic illness that leads to progressive disability and eventually death. During the different stages of the disease the needs of patients change, consequently the resources necessary to take care of them must also adapt. In order to provide comprehensive and integrated care to both the patient and caregivers, throughout the disease process, we created the Badalona Dementia Care Unit (B-DCU) in 2003. The unit is locat…
