Abstract
Many consultations in general practice concern patients with multimorbidity, pressuring our healthcare systems with complex care needs. The number of people affected from multimorbidity is still increasing, as is the average number of co-occurring diseases per patient. The resulting complexity of care needs cannot be managed by health professionals from a single discipline, but requires interprofessional collaborative practice.
This paper describes best practices from the Netherlands to facilitate interprofessional caretaking of patients with multimorbidity in primary care. The focus here is on collaborations within general practice and at community level.
期刊介绍:
Accounts of Chemical Research presents short, concise and critical articles offering easy-to-read overviews of basic research and applications in all areas of chemistry and biochemistry. These short reviews focus on research from the author’s own laboratory and are designed to teach the reader about a research project. In addition, Accounts of Chemical Research publishes commentaries that give an informed opinion on a current research problem. Special Issues online are devoted to a single topic of unusual activity and significance.
Accounts of Chemical Research replaces the traditional article abstract with an article "Conspectus." These entries synopsize the research affording the reader a closer look at the content and significance of an article. Through this provision of a more detailed description of the article contents, the Conspectus enhances the article's discoverability by search engines and the exposure for the research.
