all speak the patient's chronic and geriatric care, and the data leave no doubt. This table, extracted from McKinsey Quarterly, shows us how much it costs to meet the chronic patients in a health system, and also specifies the cost of some of the most common problems. So in all the reports of the last two years to improve the sustainability of the system always talks about improving care for chronic conditions.
The question now is: create an organization dedicated to the chronic? We modify the current system "affecting or creating new devices? Or review the current procedures and see where they could fail? Just one detail: in the chronicity, the social aspect is fundamental and yet coordination between social services (depending on city councils, provincial or autonomous communities, as appropriate) and health remains poor. Perhaps this should be another starting point in analyzing the issue. The word " socio " almost seems ironic today.
