| Annotation | Some 50 million people in the European Union (EU) are living with multiple chronic diseases, which deeply affects their quality of life. Innovation in chronic illness care is urgently called for. First, most current care delivery models are disease-specific, and therefore are not adapted to the needs of the growing number of people with multi-morbidity. Second, chronic illness care places a high burden on financial and human resources. The ICARE4EU project, a major new European initiative co-funded by the Health Programme of the European Union, wants to improve care for people living with multiple chronic conditions, by identifying, analysing and disseminating innovative patient-centred multidisciplinary care programmes to address mulit-morbidity.
