Experiences and preliminary effects of the Comprehensive chrOnic caRe outpatiEnt (CORE) clinic for patients with multimorbidity in the hospital setting

Healthcare systems remain disease oriented despite growing sustainability concerns caused by inadequate management of patients with multimorbidity. Comprehensive care programmes (CCPs) can play an important role in streamlining care delivery, but large differences in setup and results hinder firm conclusions on their effectiveness. Many elements for successful implementation of CCPs are identified, but strategies to overcome barriers and embed programmes within health systems remain unknown.
