Continuity of primary care for type 2 diabetes and hypertension and its association with health outcomes and disease control
Continuity of primary care is not sufficiently achieved for hypertension and diabetes mellitus in Vietnam. Strengthening robust primary care services, improving the collaboration between healthcare providers through multidisciplinary team-based care and integrated care approach, and promoting patient education programs and shared decision-making interventions are priorities to improve COC for chronic care
What Is the Contribution From Integrated Care to Enhancing Value-Based Care at the Level of the Person and the Population
Introduction: This workshop will build on an international integrated knowledge translation project that seeks to advance meaningful adoption of digital health services to enable delivery of high-quality and equitable person-centred integrated care. Problem: Digital health solutions and services are recognized as critical to achieve person-centred integrated health and social care. To date work in this area has focused on the development and adop…
What Is the Impact of a Context-Specific Training Program for Home-Based Carers? An Evaluation Study
Introduction: In South Africa (SA), home-based carers (HBCs) play a crucial role at the community level for non-communicable diseases (NCDs) including diabetes mellitus (DM) public health care. The work of HBCs requires them to be knowledgeable about diabetes, and lack of knowledge has implications on their roles for the provision of health information and dietary advice. HBCs need to be provided with specific training to develop their knowledge …
The Manage Care Model – Developing an Evidence-Based and Expert-Driven Chronic Care Management Model for Patients with Diabetes
The MANAGE CARE MODEL provides guidance for the development and implementation of chronic care programs, regional networks and national strategies. Future research is needed to validate the model as an instrument of regional chronic care management
General Practice Care for Patients with Rare Diseases in Belgium. A Cross-Sectional Survey
There are almost no studies about rare diseases in general practice. This study examined care characteristics of active rare disease patients in the Belgian Network of Sentinel General Practices (SGP) and the importance of rare diseases in general practice by its caseload, general practitioner (GP)−patient encounter frequency and nationwide prevalence. The SGP reported data about: (i) the number of active rare disease patients in 2015; and (ii) c…
Individualising Chronic Care Management by Analysing Patients’ Needs – A Mixed Method Approach
The study uncovered competing demands which are not limited to medical conditions. The findings emphasise that future care models need to focus stronger on individual patient needs and promote their active involvement in co-design and implementation. Future research is needed to develop new chronic care models providing evidence-based and practical implications for the regional care setting
Preliminary outcomes of the development of an Active Ageing with Type 2 Diabetes Chronic Care Management Model in Europe
Ιntroduction: A growing number of EU citizens suffer from diabetes, posing an increasing health, social and economic burden. This burden is mostly driven by type 2 diabetes (T2DM), which is leading to a rapidly growing group of ‘older people’ (65+) with diabetes. An increase in the average life expectancy adds to this accrued number of elderly living with T2DM, experiencing a number of associated comorbidities. Management of this large group pose…
Informal caregiver involvement in innovative home care projects in Belgium
Introduction: Continuity of care is essential when trying to avoid untimely institutionalization of the frail elderly. Either continuously or occasionally, multiple care providers are involved in the integrated care for a community-dwelling frail older person. In this coming and going of care providers over time, the informal caregiver usually remains the constant factor. In 2009 the Belgian Federal Government launched a call for innovative proje…

Diversity in diabetes care programmes and views on high quality diabetes care
There is large diversity in diabetes care programmes and related quality indicators. From this review and our analysis on the mutual relationship between diversity in diabetes care programmes and the conceptualization of high quality diabetes care, we conclude that no single conceptual framework used to date provides a comprehensive overview of attributes of high quality diabetes care linked to quality indicators at the structure, process and out…
