Primary care practice-based care management for chronically ill patients (PraCMan) in German healthcare: Outcome of a propensity-score matched cohort study
Primary care practice-based care management for chronically ill patients (PraCMan) in German healthcare: Outcome of a propensity-score matched cohort study (Taylor & Francis).
Growing prevalence of chronic diseases is a rising challenge for healthcare systems. The Primary Care Practice-Based Care Management (PraCMan) programme is a comprehensive disease management intervention in primary care in Germany aiming to improve medical care and to reduce potentially avoidable hospitalisations for chronically ill patients.
[...]
Conclusion
This study showed that the PraCMan intervention may be associated with a lower
rate of hospital admissions and hospitalisation costs than usual care. Further
studies may assess long-term effects of PraCMan and its efficacy in preventing
known complications of chronic diseases.
