Annual Conference Supplement 2009: First lessons from the ‘Austrian patient questionnaire’ for chronic conditions in Austria

摘要

Aims and objectivesIntegrated care presumes the chronic patient as its main target group. Data are sparse on demands and satisfaction of these patients with service delivery and system performance in Austria. Therefore, several surveys among patients with different chronic diseases were performed. The analysis and comparison of the patient questionnaires is aimed at collecting data on patients' needs and their priorities in chronic care within the Austrian health system.
