Figure 1. The annual consultation flow in the Chronic Care
Model.
The new Chronic Care Model consists of three consultations conducted
with four-months intervals focusing on 1) pharmacological treatment, 2)
external loads, and 3) lifestyle issues, respectively. Additionally, a
fourth ad hoc consultation, ”Taboo”, was introduced to cover typical
taboo subjects (e.g., impotence, incontinence, and psychological issues)
when needed.
