Abstract:
Patients with chronic or difficult to treat headaches are generally under the care of general practictioners or neurologists in private practice. Some are referred to a headache specialist for evaluation and advice. Treatment is often provided by the referring physician. An alternative is a multidisciplinary headache centre, where care is provided by different disciplines (neurology, behavioural psychology, psychiatry, psychosomatic medicine, physical therapy, sport therapy) across sectors of the healthcare system involving out- and inpatient care and treatment. This is called integrated headache care. This review summarizes experiences in integrated headache care settings in Europe and the USA, describes these settings, and reports outcome data.

Nursing Clinical Information System
A Nursing Clinical Information System (NCIS) is a specialized type of healthcare information system tailored to meet the unique needs of nursing practice. It incorporates the principles of nursing informatics to streamline information management and improve the quality of care delivery.
Critical attributes of NCIS include:
Acute Coronary Syndrome IV: Interprofessional Care
Aneurysm III: Interprofessional Care
Interdisciplinary Care: The Health Care Team-I
Physicians
The physician's primary responsibility is to diagnose illness and direct the medical or surgical treatment of the condition. The authority to admit patients to a healthcare agency or institution and practice care within that setting is granted to physicians by the healthcare agency or institution itself.
