People with multiple chronic conditions (MCC) face challenges planning health care collaboratively with primary care clinicians, particularly when their priorities conflict. These challenges intensify with symptoms of anxiety or depression. Elicitation ...

Multimorbidity, the occurrence of two or more chronic conditions in an individual, is a significant global health issue. It requires individuals to engage in complex self-management. It is understood that support from a care network, including ...

The intertwined and sometimes contradictory work of managing complex health needs (e.g., discordant, enigmatic, and/or rare conditions) creates many challenges for patients, caregivers, and healthcare providers. While researchers have created ...

There is an increasing population of health information consumers (HIC) with multimorbidity. Previous studies explored the online information behavior of patients in general or HIC with a specific disease; however, the online information behavior of ...

Individuals with multiple chronic conditions (MCC) experience the overwhelming burden of treating MCC and frequently disagree with their providers on priorities for care. Aligning self-care with patients' values may improve healthcare for these ...

People with multiple chronic conditions (MCC) often disagree with healthcare providers on priorities for care, leading to worse health outcomes. To align priorities, there is a need to support patient-provider communication about what patients consider ...

Older adults with multiple chronic conditions (multimorbidity) face complex self-management routines, including symptom monitoring, managing multiple medications, coordinating healthcare visits, communicating with multiple healthcare providers and ...

Clinical guidelines specify sequences of steps (care pathways) to treat patients with single conditions. Increasingly, many patients exhibit “multimorbidity,” several chronic conditions needing concurrent treatment. However, applying multiple ...

We present BPMN+V, a representation for modeling clinical care pathways, particularly with regard to their dependence on and interaction with data. Using this notation, we describe and evaluate a method to detect conflicts between multiple care pathways ...

Managing patients with complex multimorbidity has long been recognized as a difficult problem due to complex disease and medication dependencies and the potential risk of adverse drug interactions. Existing work either uses complicated rule-based ...

Multimorbidity, the presence of two or more chronic conditions, places a significant burden on health systems globally. People managing multiple chronic conditions face burdensome and complex treatment plans. Polypharmacy, the prescription of several ...

The formal representation of clinical knowledge is still an open research topic. Classical representation languages for clinical guidelines are used to produce diagnostic and treatment plans. However, they have important limitations, e.g. when looking for ...

BACKGROUND: The intrinsic mechanism of multimorbidity is difficult to recognize and prediction and diagnosis are difficult to carry out accordingly. Bayesian networks can help to diagnose multimorbidity in health care, but it is difficult to obtain the ...
