Official title:
Effectiveness of the Integrated Care Model Salut+Social in Patients With Chronic Conditions: a Mixed Methods Study Protocol
Integrated care models aim to promote the coordination and communication between services. The present study aim to evaluate the effectiveness of a new integrated care model (Salut+Social model) which will promote the coordination and communication between social and healthcare services in southern Catalonia (Spain) for the improvement of quality of life of chronic patients, adherence to treatment, access to medical services and caregiver overload. Also, we will evaluate the experience of health and social professionals with the new model implemented.
A clinical trial with mixed methodology will be carried out. The intervention consists of the promotion and coordination between the social and health sectors, for 6 months, through the use of information and communication technology (ICT) tools that operate as an interface for the integrated care model. The study subjects are chronic patients with health and social conditions that are susceptible to be treated in a collaborative and coordinated way in the field of primary health care. A sample size of 141 patients was estimated. Questionnaires will be used at baseline and at 6, 9 and 12 months after the beginning of the study for the evaluation of quality of life, treatment adherence, medical service and caregiver overload. The principal variable is the quality of life. For statistical analysis, comparisons of means and proportions at different time points will be performed. One discussion group will be performed with the aim of improving the care model according to professionals' opinions. A thematic content analysis will be carried out. ;
