Re: Policy Versus Practice: Facilitators and Barriers of Chronic Care Integration in Dutch General Practice – a Survey Study

The aim of this Letter to Editor is to point out the impact of some of the article's conclusions, while in our opinion these conclusions might not be accurate based on the detailed results. The authors report that 56% of health care providers in general practices do not feel capable of delivering integrated care. However, based on Table 2, this main conclusion appears inaccurate. Furthermore, it remains unclear which specific healthcare providers reported feeling incapable. We are concerned that the current interpretation may be misleading and we recommend correcting percentages and providing more detailed subgroup data in order to enhance the accuracy and clarity of the findings.

Abstract

The aim of this Letter to Editor is to point out the impact of some of the article's conclusions, while in our opinion these conclusions might not be accurate based on the detailed results. The authors report that 56% of health care providers in general practices do not feel capable of delivering integrated care. However, based on Table 2, this main conclusion appears inaccurate. Furthermore, it remains unclear which specific healthcare providers reported feeling incapable. We are concerned that the current interpretation may be misleading and we recommend correcting percentages and providing more detailed subgroup data in order to enhance the accuracy and clarity of the findings.
