Use of simulation modelling to improve care for patients with chronic conditions in Switzerland

Use of simulation modelling to improve care for patients with chronic conditions in Switzerland

Although more and more people are suffering from chronic conditions, the Swiss health care system is still strongly oriented towards acute care. In order to provide adequate services for this growing patient group, the health care system needs to be realigned to meet the actual needs. The aim of this project is to develop recommendations on how the current health care system can be better adapted to the care of patients with chronic conditions. A model of the current care system for patients with chronic conditions will be developed to test the impact of different health policy interventions on quality, cost of care, and patient reported outcomes.
