Highlights
Chronic illness is a challenge for healthcare systems, as it requires long-term coordination of care among involved healthcare professionals, the patients themselves, and their caregivers
We aimed to explore stakeholder representations of current practices, limitations and solutions in three conditions, in the Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes region, France
The results so-far indicate an acute awareness from most participants of the necessity of collaborative care, and a substantial perceived gap between the current care fragmentation they experience, between secondary and primary care, and the ideal scenario of integrated care
Summary
Chronic illness is a challenge for healthcare systems, as it requires long-term coordination of care among involved healthcare professionals, the patients themselves, and their caregivers To maintain their quality of life, patients need to adapt daily routines to be able to follow specific medical treatment, self-care, dietary, or physical exercise recommendations. We aimed to explore stakeholder representations of current practices, limitations and solutions in three conditions (asthma, breast cancer, and post-stroke long-term care), in the Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes region, France This was part of a wider community-based participatory research project aiming to co-construct a framework of collaborative SMaS applicable to integrated care initiatives in the area
