Why the study?
Care systems are often fragmented, disjointed, and focused on the condition rather than the patient, creating a need for guidance on integrated care for people with cardiovascular disease.
This ESC statement provides guidance on implementing integrated, patient-centered care for individuals with cardiovascular disease to address fragmented care systems.
Supports integrated, patient-centered CVD care to reduce fragmentation; extends prior guidance with implementation advice and research priorities.
In a rapidly changing health and care landscape, there is acknowledgement that the organization of care should be integrated with the patient placed at the centre. In reality, care systems are often fragmented, disjointed, and focused on the condition rather than the patient. The Science Committee of the Association of Cardiovascular Nursing and Allied Professions of the European Society of Cardiology recognizes the need for a statement on integrated care to guide health professionals caring for people with cardiovascular disease. This statement outlines the evidence for integrated cardiovascular care, identifies challenges, and offers advice for practice, education, and research.
