Health Quality Ontario
Record ID 32013000379
English
Authors' objectives:
The objectives of this evidence-based analysis (EBA) were as follows:
to summarize the literature on SCBC, also known as intermediate care
to synthesize the evidence from previous Medical Advisory Secretariat (now Health Quality Ontario) EBAs on SCBC for heart failure, diabetes, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), and chronic wounds
to examine the role of SCBC in family practice
Authors' recommendations:
Specialized community-based care effectively improves outcomes in patients with heart failure, COPD,
and diabetes. The effectiveness of SCBC in family practice is unclear.
