Résumé
The MACVIA-LR integrated care approach deployed in the Languedoc-Roussillon region in the South of France rests on three main initiatives that put particular emphasis on the prevention of unhealthy ageing of patients suffering from chronic conditions by implementing a series of actions that range from the early diagnosis and management of chronic respiratory diseases to the detection of un-recognised co-morbidities. The initiatives form part of a set of activities as a reference site for the European Innovation Partnership on Active and Healthy Ageing initiative in the Languedoc-Roussillon region and comprise: Integrated care pathways for airway diseases (AIRWAYS ICPs); Allergic Rhinitis and its Impact on Asthma (ARIA); and the Co-morbidity Clinics.
