Development of a collaborative chronic care model for management of cardiometabolic disease in low- and middle-income countries

This is the first CoCCM model for Multiple Long-term Conditions (MLTC) to be developed for SSA. The intervention is currently being tested as part of a feasibility study in Kenya, Ghana and Mozambique. The CREATE intervention has the potential for adaptability to local context, however there is need for more rigorous research to evaluate the model effectiveness in relation to improving patient outcomes.

Abstract

This is the first CoCCM model for Multiple Long-term Conditions (MLTC) to be developed for SSA. The intervention is currently being tested as part of a feasibility study in Kenya, Ghana and Mozambique. The CREATE intervention has the potential for adaptability to local context, however there is need for more rigorous research to evaluate the model effectiveness in relation to improving patient outcomes.
