Studies aimed at developing a patient-centred system that selects and adapts the optimal healthcare intervention for the chronic patient in each situation based on the priorities and needs of patients, their caregivers, their family and the needs of the healthcare system itself, ensuring an efficient and responsible use of resources at all times and needs with an integrated vision of their conditions.

This includes the replacement of outpatient interventions with remote or automatic interventions whenever possible, adaptation of the care level (e.g. acute beds, long-stay beds, home-based hospitalisation), reinforcement of rehabilitational and preventive interventions and reduction of unnecessary attendance.

The outcome will be the systematic adaptation of different interventions to health needs and priorities and those of the system such that a no more intrusive or expensive intervention than strictly necessary is used and that the decision regarding the intervention is increasingly shared by the professional and the patient.
