Workshop: integration of care at the interface of primary and secondary care: work in progress.
Zee, J. van der. Workshop: integration of care at the interface of primary and secondary care: work in progress. European Journal of Public Health: 2010, 20(suppl. 1), p. 99. Abstract. 3rd European Public Health Conference 'Integrated Public Health', 10 - 13 November 2010, Amsterdam.
Background and aim: Existing health care arrangements do not always provide a well-organized response to health problems occurring in society. Inadequate coordination of care for people with
chronic conditions or elderly in need for home care services provide examples of important integration issues that healthcare systems in Europe struggle with. Removing barriers, for instance by creating incentives for teamwork between primary and secondary care providers, may improve the quality of health care. The aim of this workshop is to appraise and address the issue of integration of care between primary and secondary care and within primary care as a basis for possible solutions which could improve coordination, service delivery, patient experience, efficiency and responsiveness. Content of the workshop: After an introduction by the chairman, the workshop will consist of five presentations with the following topics: (i) A presentation by Wienke Boerma about different strategies in which countries in Western Europe coordinate patient care within primary care and across care levels. An international comparison of six countries will be made based on results of the Primary Health Care Activity Monitor for Europe (PHAMEU) project.(ii) A presentation by Madelon Kroneman to explore whether the organization of general practice care and specialist
ambulatory care have an influence on hospital admissions in Europe. The results may contribute to improving the efficiency and quality of health care services. (iii) A presentation by Aldo Rosano concerning the role of primary care in the prevention of primary care sensitive hospital admission in different health care systems. (iv) A presentation by Dionne Kringos aiming at illustrating the degree in which preventive care and health promotion activities are part of primary care systems in Europe. Results from 31 countries will be used, based on Primary Health Care Activity Monitor for Europe (PHAMEU) project. (v) A presentation by Nadine Genet to present strategies to diminish problems of poor coordination in home care. Different models of integration within home care and between home care and residential setting across Europe will be presented. Results are based on the Mapping Professional Home Care in Europe (EURHOMAP) project. The workshop will be closed with a summary by the chairman.
