Patients with chronic disease require coordination of care across multiple practitioners, including primary care providers, specialists, care managers, pharmacists, and others.
This is particularly important for younger patients with multimorbidity who may attend multiple specialists and need coordination of their care by their general practitioner.
Therefore, we assumed that respondents who assess the accessibility of their primary care practice as being rather good and perceive greater support by the general practitioner in the coordination of their care would rate their primary care practice more health literacy responsive on the HLPC scale.
However, the coordination of support services is viewed by general practitioners as one of the greatest difficulties in treating dementia patients [ 9].
The report also outlined service provision issues such as poor coordination of care, lack of communication between health practitioners and patient uncertainty about who is responsible for providing long-term care (Hewitt et al, 2006).
It is therefore mandatory to notify a clinical professional (physician, nurse practitioner) responsible for the coordination of BC testing between LABs and ICUs.
FW provided contact to the army practitioners and participated in the coordination of the study.
Objective To examine the effectiveness of post-diagnosis dementia treatment and coordination of care by memory clinics compared with general practitioners.
15 The AD-Euro study adds important data, which seem to point to a lack of difference in effectiveness between memory clinics and general practitioners in the treatment and coordination of care for patients with dementia.
We found no evidence of a difference in effectiveness between memory clinics and general practitioners with regard to post-diagnosis treatment and coordination of care for patients with dementia.
