How to integrate care: crossing European borders
Symposium Chairs: F. Smeenk (Eindhoven, Netherlands), D. Price (Cawston, United Kingdom)
Aims: The aims of this symposium are to:
- identify possible problems in implementing integrated care;
- to present and discuss the current national strategies aimed at solving implementing
integrated care pathways.
After the introductory presentations from (inter-)national experts in this field, a discussion will
be held on how the above mentioned problems could best be addressed. To stimulate the
discussion statements will be given to which the audience will be invited to comment.
Topics to be covered by the discussion:
1. What role should primary care physicians have in the follow-up of chronic COPD patients in a well-functioning integrated care system?
2. Do pulmonologists have a role in diagnosing ('uncomplicated') COPD in a well-functioning
integrated care system?
3. Is the existing financial reimbursement system an important factor for successful implementation of an integrated care pathway?
