The main goal of this multidisciplinary research project was to deepen our understanding of effective chronic disease management as well as to increase awareness of professionals and the general public regarding integrated models of care. The results highlighted the importance of patients\u2019 self-management support, which is a key aspect of patient-centered approaches in healthcare.
