Active Ageing with Type 2 Diabetes as Model for the Development and Implementation of Innovative Chronic Care Management in Europe
Prof. Dr. med. habil. Peter Schwarz

2. The Facts
A growing number of EU citizens suffer from diabe-tes, posing a growing health, social and economic burden in the EU
This burden is mostly driven by type 2 diabetes, which is increasingly diagnosed at younger age and is leading to a rapidly growing group of ‘older peo-ple’ (65+) with diabetes
Management of this growing group poses unique challenges and outcomes remain far from optimal
An increased prevalence of multiple comorbidities require tailored and integrated treatment strategies
Care models need to focus on how to prioritise dia-betes treatment relative to that of other comorbidi-ties and the functional status of patients.
Care fragmentation is a major problem for most chronic diseases

4. Manage Care –The project
Active Ageing with Type 2 Diabetes as Model in the Development and Implementation of Innovative Chronic Care Management Models in Europe
MANAGE-CARE focuses on the development of new chronic care management standards and guidance in Europe.
The goal of the project is to develop an innovative Chronic Care Model with applicable standards for clinical pathways as well as guidelines and training curricular for healthcare professionals using these standards.
MANAGE-CARE currently consists of 31 partners including all the leading organisations in Europe in the academic, research and public policy fields, mostly related to diabetes management. The project is led by Prof. Peter Schwarz of the University of Dresden and includes renowned partners such as Prof. Martin McKee of the European Centre on Health of Societies in Transition of the London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine.

10 care-standard recommendations as a roadmap to integrated chronic care management 4
Development of a European e-health training portal for
prevention managers 7
A toolkit to guide development and implementation Chronic Care Management Models in Europe

6. the proposed results of the project will be
A European e-health training portal for medical professionals
A patient empowerment booklet and e-health portal on active ageing with chronic diseases
10 care-standard recommendations as a roadmap to integrated and patient-centred chronic care management
A toolkit to guide development and implementation of integrated Chronic Care Management Models in Europe

7. Manage Care Model

8. Manage Care-Developing a prevention strategy
be structured – easy to understand
find people where they are – setting approach
focus on the individual – empowerment
involve regular contact with individuals with prediabetes
recruit educated lifestyle managers
continuously evaluate the success of prevention strategies
use screening tools that are applicable in a population setting
include quality management – prevention management

9. Manage Care- THE GOAL
Starting with diabetes as a chronic care example, MANAGE-CARE will develop an innovative chronic care model applicable not only for diabetes, but also for other chronic diseases. This model will adequately address the needs of elderly populations in particular, but also of young populations increasingly affected by chronic dis-ease, as well as challenges given by the changes in the healthcare systems and financing structures in European countries.
The final deliverable of MANAGE-CARE will be a practical toolkit for the development of chronic care management programs applicable to health care management organization's, scientific and medical associations, but also insurance and payer stakeholders as well as the political partners. MANAGE-CARE will act as the basis for the development and implementation of innovative chronic care management programs in Europe.
The results of MANAGE-CARE will be of relevance for all the stake-holders involved in diabetes care and management: healthcare authorities, healthcare professionals, professional organization's, the pharmaceutical industry, IT and health technology partners and political stakeholders.

10. Manage Care- Why get involved?
MANAGE CARE will develop patient pathway recommendations that will become the new reference for Chronic Care Man-agement in Europe
MANAGE-CARE will develop a new state-of-the-art Chronic Care Management model 25 years after the Wagner Chronic Care Model
MANAGE-CARE will develop recommendations for disease management for elderly people living with chronic diseases, including requirements for the use of new technologies, which will have a strong impact on points of care and the development of medical devices used at home
