The aim of this policy brief is to facilitate policy-makers in the development of policies directed at patient-centred care for people with multimorbidity. Patient-centred care is considered more responsive to the needs of people with multimorbidity than disease-orientated care. Therefore, patients should be actively involved in the decision-making process concerning their care and treatment. This policy brief provides insight into how patient-centred care is currently incorporated in innovative care programmes in Europe for people with multimorbidity. It also outlines the types of strategy and policy that could support patient-centred care.
