When people live with multiple chronic diseases: a collaborative approach to an emerging global challenge

Polypathology is one of the most pressing challenges in the present and future management of chronic disease. This book is an edited collection of essays that cover both conceptual and research dimensions of polypathology. It is a living document that is continuously evolving as readers are invited to make their own contributions to the discussion on the web (www. opimec.org). Although the book is not specifically devoted to integrated care, this theme is at the core of several chapters.
