Evaluation of enhanced models of primary care in the management of stroke and other chronic diseases

在澳大利亚，慢性病是导致死亡和残疾的主要原因。自1999年以来，澳大利亚的患者已经能够获得由医疗保险补贴的各种综合疾病管理方案。我们将使用在澳大利亚卒中临床登记处登记的卒中幸存者的综合关联数据，以卒中为例，对这些增强的初级保健模式对慢性疾病患者的有效性进行首次强有力的评估。

Chronic diseases are the leading cause of death and disability in Australia. Since 1999, patients in Australia have been able to access a variety of comprehensive disease management programs subsidised through Medicare. We will use comprehensive linked data from survivors of stroke registered in the Australian Stroke Clinical Registry to provide the first robust evaluation of the effectiveness of these enhanced models of primary care in patients with chronic diseases using stroke as an example.
