This information comes from a report by the Manitoba Centre for Health Policy (MCHP), a research unit in University of Manitoba’s Faculty of Medicine.

Framework For Integrated Health Services For The Elderly Show description: Finding efficient and effective ways to care for the elderly is always an important issue, and it is an issue of growing importance in Canada as the baby boom cohort ages. Our health system’s central concern has been acute care, that is, treatment of episodes of illness or injury for a short period of time.

Mobilising the world for chronic NCDs Show description: The Lancet's third Series on chronic diseases and development, starting today, comes at a crucial crossroads in the fight against non-communicable diseases.

Prevention and management of chronic disease: a litmus test for health-systems strengthening in low-income and middle-income countries Show description: National health systems need strengthening if they are to meet the growing challenge of chronic diseases in low-income and middle-income countries. By application of an accepted health-systems framework to the evidence, we report that the factors that limit countries' capacity to implement proven strategies for chronic diseases relate to the way in which health systems are designed and function. Substantial constraints are apparent across each of the six key health-systems components of health financing, governance ...
Raising the priority of preventing chronic diseases: a political process Show description: Chronic diseases, especially cardiovascular diseases, diabetes, cancer, and chronic obstructive respiratory diseases, are neglected globally despite growing awareness of the serious burden that they cause. Global and national policies have failed to stop, and in many cases have contributed to, the chronic disease pandemic. Low-cost and highly effective solutions for the prevention of chronic diseases are readily available; the failure to respond is now a political, rather than a technical issue. We seek to understand ...

Co- and multimorbidity patterns in primary care based on episodes of care: results from the German CONTENT project Show description: Due to technological progress and improvements in medical care and health policy the average age of patients in primary care is continuously growing. In equal measure, an increasing proportion of mostly elderly primary care patients presents with multiple coexisting medical conditions. To properly assess the current situation of co- and multimorbidity, valid scientific data based on an appropriate data structure are indispensable. CONTENT (CONTinuous morbidity registration Epidemiologic NeTwork) is an ambitious project in Germany to ...
