RATIONALE, AIMS AND OBJECTIVES:
Complex chronic diseases are a challenge for the current configuration of health services.

Finding ways to provide better and less expensive health care for people with multiple chronic conditions or disability is a pressing concern. The purpose of this systematic review was to evaluate different approaches for caring for this high-need and high-cost population.
The systematic review by Bleich and colleagues contributes to the much needed evidence supporting management of patients with multiple chronic conditions — multimorbidity.
Telehealth success relies on the ability of information and communication technologies (ICT) to maximize the quality of care provided remotely, i.e., providing diagnostics and treatments of the same quality compared to face-to-face or conventional means, and maximize the benefits for the patients, the clinicians and the system of care.
The objective of this article is to develop a conceptual model for effective use of telehealth in the management of chronic health conditions, and to use this to develop and evaluate an intervention for people with two exemplar conditions: raised cardiovascular disease risk and depression.
