The aim of this programme is to adapt traditional epidemiological tools to the study of chronic diseases and develop new tools and their application for evaluating the effectiveness and efficiency of new interventions, technologies and services. This programme also focuses on the development of research methodologies for chronicity-related care models.

The results obtained during the research conducted as part of this programme will be relevant as regards taking clinical and health policy decisions. In practical terms, the end impact should be a greater satisfaction of both patients and professionals, better quality of life, better health outcomes and lower comparative cost.
