Objective:
The "New capacities and digital transformation of patients with complex chronic conditions" (DAIPO) project develops and evaluates a comprehensive, proactive care model aimed at improving care continuity and health outcomes in patients with complex chronic conditions.
Method:
A hybrid design with mixed methodology is employed, comparing two non-concurrent prospective cohorts: a pre-intervention cohort managed under the conventional model and an intervention cohort in which the new care model is implemented with the support of the digital tool eSalutMetrosud and integrating the patient experience perspective. The intervention includes: redesign of the care process, the patient experience, a mobile application for patients, and a web platform for professionals to enable clinical follow-up.
Results:
Health indicators, healthcare activity, quality of life (EQ-5D-5L), patient experience (IEXPAC), and digital tool's usability (SUS) will be assessed, comparing outcomes at baseline, 6, and 12 months.
Conclusions:
The study will assess the impact of the DAIPO model on clinical outcomes, care organization, and patient experience, as well as its potential scalability.
