What is it about?

Monitoring involves repeated and regular examinations to manage and adjust the treatment of a chronic disease. The aim is to prevent symptomatic crises and improve the long-term prognosis in terms of symptoms, disabilities, episodes of illness and mortality. However, the results of monitoring examinations can also lead to uncertainty and diagnostic cascades, as well as tying up financial and human resources. Sufficient study evidence on benefits and safety should be available, but this is not the case for some monitoring measures.

How does the study work?

In the first phase of the project, we will conduct an assessment of the current state of care. This will involve conducting interviews with doctors and patients and analysing health insurance data. In the second phase, we will develop methodological, health policy and research policy recommendations that will help to improve the quality of care for people with chronic diseases.
