SELFIE has three strands of research on integrated chronic care (ICC) for individuals with multi-morbidity. These are divided into 7 Work Packages (WPs)
WP1
Conceptual
framework to
review ICC models
and select most

WP2

most promising
ICC models for
multi-morbidity
Work package 2
WP3
Impact of
financing/pay-
ments schemes and
price-setting for
ICC for multi-
morbidity
Work package 3
WP4
Development
of analytical
framework to per-
form evaluation
using MCDA

most promising
ICC models
using MCDA

to CEE
Work package 7
MAIN STRANDS OF RESEARCH
- Cross-country comparative descriptive research of Integrated Chronic Care (ICC) models for persons with multi-morbidity, including a list of financial/payment schemes that support the implementation of these models; (WP1) (WP2) (WP3)
- Intra-country evaluations of financing/payment schemes of ICC models, and Multi-Criteria Decision Analyses (MCDA) of the 16 most promising ICC models; (WP4) (WP5)
- Evidence synthesis, and development of implementation strategies that match the different healthcare systems in Europe, and support the transferability of the ICC models also to Central and Eastern European Countries. (WP6) (WP7)
DELIVERABLES
- Taxonomy of most promising ICC models for multi-morbid persons. This includes a toolkit of interventions to develop ICC models and embed them in specific health and social care systems.
- List of financing/payment schemes with adequate incentives to support the implementation of ICC for multi-morbidity.
- Price-setting document explaining the technicalities of deriving a price for ICC models.
- Performance assessment tool to monitor the goal achievement of ICC models, this tool will include new indicators that specifically address the quality of care for persons with multi-morbidity.
- Strategies for implementation and change management.
