Network of doctors for multimorbidity and diabetes - the NOMAD intervention: protocol for feasibility trial of multidisciplinary team conferences for people with diabetes and multimorbidity.

Background: The prevalence of diabetes and coexisting multimorbidity rises worldwide. Treatment of this patient group can be complex. Providing an evidence-based, coherent, and patient-centred treatment of patients with multimorbidity poses a challenge in healthcare systems, which are typically designed to deliver disease-specific care.

Opting out of cardiac rehabilitation in local community healthcare services: Patients' perspectives and reflections.

Rationale: Despite cardiac rehabilitation and medical treatment being integrated parts of the pathway of patients with cardiovascular disease, as well as the well-establish positive effect, cardiac rehabilitation remains underutilised. In recent years, cardiac rehabilitation has increasingly been moved from the hospitals to the community healthcare services. This transition may be challenging for patients with cardiovascular disease.

Understanding Facilitators and Challenges to Care Transition in Cardiac Rehabilitation: Perspectives and Assumptions of Healthcare Professionals.

Cardiac rehabilitation is an essential part of treatment for patients with cardiovascular disease. Cardiac rehabilitation is increasingly organized outside hospital in community healthcare services. However, this transition may be challenging.

The patient education strategy "learning and coping" improves adherence to cardiac rehabilitation in primary healthcare settings: a pragmatic cluster-controlled trial.

Background: Adherence and completion of programmes in educational and physical exercise sessions is essential in cardiac rehabilitation (CR) to obtain the known benefits on morbidity, mortality, risk factors, lifestyle, and quality of life. The patient education strategy "Learning and Coping" (LC) has been reported to positively impact adherence and completion in a hospital setting. It is unknown if LC has impact on adherence in primary healthcare settings, and whether LC improves self-management.

Understanding healthcare providers' experiences with video recording of patient consultations.

Aim: To understand healthcare providers' experiences with video recording of patient consultations.

Background: Video recordings have been recognised to be an effective method to evaluate in situ interactions in clinical practice. The video recordings are often conducted by researchers, but active involvement of healthcare providers into the process of recording is evolving.

Implementation of patient involvement methods in the clinical setting: A qualitative study exploring the health professional perspective.

Rationale, Aims And Objectives: Patient involvement is increasingly recognized as a key component on the international health care agenda. This attention has brought a need for developing generic and standardized open-source methods, tools, and guidelines on how to systematically implement patient involvement initiatives in the clinical setting. The large-scale project the User-involving Hospital was initiated to implement two systematic methods for patient involvement at a Danish university hospital, but the required methods can only be implemented if embraced by the health professionals.

Processes of in-hospital psychiatric care and subsequent criminal behaviour among patients with schizophrenia: a national population-based, follow-up study.

Objectives: It is unknown whether evidence-based, in-hospital processes of care may influence the risk of criminal behaviour among patients with schizophrenia. Our study aimed to examine the association between guideline recommended in-hospital psychiatric care and criminal behaviour among patients with schizophrenia.

Methods: Danish patients with schizophrenia (18 years or older) discharged from a psychiatric ward between January 2004 and March 2009 were identified using a national population-based schizophrenia registry (n = 10 757).

Challenges in validating quality of care data in a schizophrenia registry: experience from the Danish National Indicator Project.

Background: Improvement of quality of care for psychiatric patients is a key objective of health care systems worldwide. Consequently, there is an increasing interest in documenting quality of care; however, little is known about the validity of the available data on psychiatric care.

Objective: To assess the validity of process of care data recorded in the Danish National Indicator Project (DNIP), a national population-based registry containing quality of care data of patients diagnosed with schizophrenia in Denmark.
