Complex Care Needs in Multiple Chronic Conditions
This research protocol intends to describe and analyse complex care needs from a primary care professional perspective in order to improve knowledge of complexity beyond multimorbidity and previous consumption of health resources. Knowing about health and social complexity with a more robust empirical basis could help for a better integration of social and health policies and a more proactive and differentiated care approach in this most vulnerab…

Providing integrated care to persons with severe intellectual disabilities living in a residential facility
Introduction: (comprising context and problem statement) Patients living in our nursing home suffer from severe intellectual disabilities (SID), need a widespread support, have legal incapacitation and their health status is characterized by aging, comorbidity, risk of complications and exacerbations, polypharmacy and high complex needs.Due to their difficult clinical management and the high intensity of interventions, there is a huge use of heal…
The Model of Advanced Care Planning in Catalonia (Spain)
Background: Care models for advanced chronic patients present two key aspects: early identification and advanced care planning (ACP). In 2014, Catalonia arranged the ACP Model (ACPM), addressed to chronic patient’s complex needs, into a public health-social system (HSS).Aims: Describe the implementation process (IP) of an ACPM.Methods: A core group of professionals (n=55) was convened to develop the ACPM with the co-participation of patients, car…
Comparing theoretical and real complex chronic populations
Introduction: Population stratification systems are based, primarily, on burden of disease and pattern of use of resources. They do not include other variables that, according to available evidence, determine the complexity, especially environmental and social circumstances.In Catalonia, a strategy for proactive identification of complex chronic patients (CCP) by healthcare professionals in primary care, based on clinical judgment and broad crite…
Health literacy in Catalonia
Introduction: The World Health Organisation describes health literacy as the cognitive and social skills which determine the motivation and ability of individuals to gain access to, understand and use information in ways which promote and maintain good health. Health literate individuals have skills to keep healthier by themselves and to maintain their quality of life for longer. In ageing societies, where chronic conditions are expected to keep …
Strategy to fight against malnutrition in chronic patients with complex health needs
Disease-related malnutrition (DRM) is a prevalent condition amongst older people as well as patients in all healthcare settings around the world. Chronic patients with complex health needs (CPCHN defined as those with complex chronic conditions that involve multiple health requirements, complex social support needs, or both) are especially vulnerable to malnutrition. Malnutrition is associated with increased morbidity, a higher hospital admission…
A person centred model for people with complex care needs
It is well known in the literature how the modern health and care systems are being oriented to launch and develop national strategies to construct and build a more comprehensive system for the people with "complex health and social care needs". Most of Chronic Care programs have been introduced proactive care management for this vulnerable population who are causing high utilization of high cost services. However a new Integrated health and soci…
Comparing complex chronic patients to advanced chronic patients with palliative care needs
Introduction: In Catalonia, a strategy for proactive identification of complex chronic patients (CCP) by healthcare professionals in primary care, based on clinical judgment and broad criteria (encompassing clinical and psychosocial variables), has been promoted by the Chronicity Prevention and Care Program (CPCP) from the Department of Health. Identification of CCP is recorded in the Shared Clinical Record of Catalonia, a common technological pl…
Complex care needs in people with chronic diseases
Introduction: Risk adjustment variables for population stratification are based, primarily, on the burden of disease and the pattern of use of resources. They do not include other variables that, according to available evidence determines the complexity, such as coordination of care on a regional level, certain patient characteristics (adherence to treatments or visits, mental disorders, etc...) and, especially, socioeconomic, cultural, environme…

Validation by citizens of the Catalan model of advance care planning
Introduction: Although in our cultural context death and end of life are still taboos, clinical approaches based on shared decision-making and person-centered care are emerging.Advance care planning (ACP) is a core example of these new approaches that mainly rely on knowledge and respect for the autonomy of patients.Respect for autonomy involves the active participation of the person in the caring process, being essential for professionals to app…
Integrating terminology for integrated care
Introduction: Our aging population, with more vulnerable people with complex needs, is the context in which the Catalan Government has created the PIAISS plan (Interdepartmental Plan for Health and Social Care and Interaction). The plan is to transform a fragmented and largely uncoordinated model into a multidimensional care model that takes into consideration different kinds of personal needs in conjunction, integrating social care systems with …
Training for caring complex health needs in the community
The Ministry of Health (MH) of Catalonia promotes the formal implementation of a new model of integrated care, comprehensive and person-centred, from a community and population-based approach, and primarily addressed to those who have social or health complex needs.All systematic focus groups conducted by MH about implementing strategies emphasize continuing education as a key element of success, especially when it is carried out in a massive man…
Expert Patient Programme Catalonia
Introduction: We are facing a paradigm shift, evolving from a paternalistic model to a deliberative model in which the person —as a patient, relative or carer— takes a protagonist, active, dynamic and directional role, encouraging responsibility, empowerment and shared decisions. In addition, we must consider the tendency to promote a focus on the individual and their environment, which is committed to a partnership between the health and social …
Multidisciplinary consensus on malnutrition in chronic patients with complex needs (CPCN)
Patients with complex chronic conditions show a high prevalence of malnutrition, which is associated with increased morbidity and mortality. It is necessary to establish a strategy for the prevention and management of nutritional care in the community setting
Chronic and integrated care in Catalonia
The implementation of a Chronic Care Program show good results but it is expected that the new integrated health and social care agenda could provoke a real change and transformation. Some of the results related to better health outcomes and a decrease in avoidable hospital admissions related to chronic conditions confirm we are on the right track to make our health and social system more sustainable for the decades to come
