KOL-forlöbsprogrammer har begraenset indvirkning på laegers tvaersektorielle samarbejde
Sammanfattning
Chronic obstructive lung disease (COLD) is a challenging condition for both primary and secondary health-care providers. Disease management
programmes (DMP’s) have been expected to lead to evident improvements in the continuum of care for COLD. The utility of a COLD management programme
was evaluated in a study based on interviews among general practitioners and COLD specialists. Clinicians preferred short practical guidelines to the DMP.
The DMP was found useless as a tool to improve the coordination of care pathways. Complimentary interventions to improve clinical cooperation across
sectors are recommended.
