The aim of this project is to motivate and support general practice clinics in implementing the visions and recommendations presented in two of the disease specific programmes for chronic care management (for chronic obstructive lung disease and Type 2 diabetes).

BEHAVIORAL

Outreach visits

The 16 facilitators in the project attend an educational programme designed to provide them with the necessary skills and tools for the task. The facilitators visit general practice clinics from March 2011 until the end of 2012. Each clinic is offered three visits. The facilitator is to act as a change agent who motivates and helps the clinic team in the process of defining common goals, and choosing the appropriate means for achieving them.
