Criteria for designing integrated diagnosis interventions in low resource settings at the primary care level: a Delphi consensus study
The study provides key criteria for prioritizing and developing integrated diagnosis interventions in primary care, in low-resource settings, particularly in Africa. The guidance might be invaluable for policymakers, funders, implementers, and manufacturers. The primary goal of integrated diagnosis is to enhance patient experiences and health outcomes. It is essential to consider all critical success factors during intervention design. These criteria may evolve as our understanding of integrated diagnosis advances.
