Abstract

Basic healthcare is exposed to considerable burdens as a consequence of demographic changes, peoples' awareness and organisational changes in healthcare. With shortages of general practitioners, a solution is needed which will redistribute their workload while preserving the high quality treatment of patients. With the introduction of model practices (MP), a new concept of work has been introduced to basic healthcare in the field of: human resources norms (the GP and health technician will be joined by a graduate nurse for half the working time), work competences (the path for treating chronic patients is strictly defined, areas covered by preventive screenings are expanded, and registries for chronic patients should be established, while quality indicators have to be achieved), and organisation of work (changes in team structure and division of labour).With great interest from general practitioners, 105 evenly regionally distributed model practices will be introduced in 2011. This is an initial step that with time all general practitioners will follow by adopting the model practice work concept, and consequently enabling the planed and supervised quality treatment of patients.
