Abstract

JOVA MOREL, Rodolfo et al. Care patterns for patients with non-communicable chronic diseases in Cuba and in the world. MEDISAN [online]. 2011, vol.15, n.11, pp. 1609-1620. ISSN 1029-3019.

This review aimed at making a brief outline on how the care pattern developed by Edward Wagner for chronic patients in the world is carried out. It contains different care variants for non communicable diseases and similarities to the Cuban pattern of Primary Health care, since all those paradigms could be used as a catalyst for a worldwide future change, keeping in mind that they share coincidence points.

Keywords : non communicable diseases; care patterns for chronic patients; innovative care pattern for chronic conditions.
