Evaluating Disease Management Programs in Dutch Chronic Care

The study is in the context of a national programme on "disease management of chronic diseases" carried out by ZonMw (Netherlands Organisation for Health Research and Development) and commissioned by the Dutch Ministry of Health. It will focus on the evaluation of the implementation of 22 DMPs to enhance knowledge on disease-management experiments in chronic care, and stimulate implementation of knowledge and insights of successful programmes. The DMPs (see Additional file 1) were selected by ZonMw based on quality and relevancy criteria retrieved from their project proposals, were implemented in various Dutch regions, and comprise a variety of collaborations between organisations and/or professionals (collaborations between general practices and hospitals, primary care practices (including physiotherapists and dieticians), or primary and community settings). The implementation is financially supported by ZonMw and DMPs will receive compensation for participating in the research.

About PubCompare

Our mission is to provide scientists with the largest repository of trustworthy protocols and intelligent analytical tools, thereby offering them extensive information to design robust protocols aimed at minimizing the risk of failures.

We believe that the most crucial aspect is to grant scientists access to a wide range of reliable sources and new useful tools that surpass human capabilities.

However, we trust in allowing scientists to determine how to construct their own protocols based on this information, as they are the experts in their field.
