The health promotion challenge
Redefining the boundaries:
• promotion/prevention,
• primary/secondary,
• screening/early diagnosis
• Chronicity/Multimorbidity
• Rehabiltation/treatment/survivorship
• Target vulnerability
The EU contribution
Help Member States develop strategic approaches
Review our instruments, using them to address
chronic diseases
Pilot and scale up good practice
Create transparency: improve monitoring and
evaluation
Implementing WHO goals, objectives and targets
How does CHRODIS contribute to reduce the
burden of chronic diseases in Europe?
• Collection, validation and dissemination of good practises
to address chronic conditions
 EIP-AHA networking, chronic disease community
• Health promotion and prevention focus on behavioural risk
factors, social determinants and inequalities in health
 streamlining
• Diabetes: a case study on barriers to prevention, screening
and treatment of diabetes and improvement of cooperation
among Member States to act on diabetes
 Country analysis, policyadvice
• Work on multi-morbidity with focus on multi-disciplinary &
integrated care, patient safety and professional training
• Development of common guidance and methodologies for
care pathways for multi -morbid patients
 Health outcomes, quality of care
