摘要
Background and objective. Patients with chronic conditions are often readmitted to hospital. A study was designed to improve health care to these patients. Patients and methods. Patients attended at the Internal Medicine Department of a hospital area who were admitted to hospital at least three times in a year were included in the study. Within a prospective study, patients were attended by means of specific consultation with care upon request and telephone care, with the possibility of programmed admission. Results. Patients were followed for 32 months, with a 45% decrease in the admission rate, 50% in visits to the Emergency Department, and 26% in hospital stay days. Conclusions. The proposed care model decrease the attending needs for these patients.
