A New Care Model for Patients With Complicated Multimorbidity

Status Recruiting

Clinical Trial Summary

Patients with complex multimorbidity experience a high treatment burden, fragmentation of care and poor clinical outcomes. General practice is the key organizational setting in terms of offering these patients integrated, longitudinal, and patient-centered care. Therefore, we propose a new general practice based model to improve overview, patient involvement and integration of care. The new care model consist of a teaching session on multimorbidity for the health care professionals, a prolonged overview consultation for patients with complex multimorbidity with the general practitioner, resulting in an individual care plan shared with the municipalities and secondary care, access to cross-sectoral video conferences with secondary care specialists and. Control practices provide health care as usual. We evaluate the care model in a cluster-randomized non-blinded, parallel-group trial in general practice. Fourteen general practices are allocated 1:1 to either intervention or control. We evaluate the effectiveness of the intervention with patient-reported questionnaire at baseline, 6-month follow-up, and 12-month follow-up. Primary outcome measure is the Patient Assessment of Chronic Illness Care (PACIC). Secondary outcome measure includes patient-reported quality of life and the treatment burden for the patients with multimorbidity. Furthermore, the project include a process evaluation of the complex intervention with the objective to assess how the intervention is delivered and to identify important facilitators and barriers for implementing the intervention. The new model is integrated into the existing health care system structures and has the potential for a sustainable improvement in care for patients with complex multimorbidity.
