Background
This work package (WP4) has developed and currently manages The CHRODIS Platform where decision-makers, caregivers, patients, and researchers across the EU can find and share the best knowledge on chronic diseases. The platform includes:
- A clearinghouse of excellent chronic disease practices and policies across Europe, selected on the basis of criteria agreed by experts across the EU;
- An online tool to allow users to evaluate practices, interventions and policies using assessment criteria established by JA-CHRODIS;
- A digital library, which includes other relevant content (documents, video and audio material, websites, etc.) focused on chronicity.
- An online helpdesk with expert consultants to advise users on the development, implementation and evaluation of chronic disease practices.
