Resumo
The progressive aging of the Galician population results in increasing costs of healthcare and appears as an emerging social challenge to address the care and needs of older patients. Currently, the fragmentation of the healthcare system and the scarce coordination between healthcare and sociosanitary systems should lead to development of tools and ways to optimize the resources towards integrated chronicity healthcare models. Over the last years, diverse chronicity care models to improve healthcare efficiency, have been defined. This article describes a comprehensive healthcare model focused on networking and cross-working between the different stakeholders involved in chronicity healthcare, as well as the opportunities to implement improvement strategies in chronic diseases management.
