Abstract

Community-based care (C-bC) constitutes an important element of the chronic disease management programs. The design and management of C-bC systems requires the development of new resources and services, the assessment and reorganization of the existing services/facilities as well as the design of interventions. Quantitative decision models can play a major role for helping care providers and policy makers in this context. We present a systematic view of C-bC and provide selective examples of quantitative decision models developed for various chronic diseases. We outline the building blocks of C-bC systems as well as the distinguishing features of these systems that need to be incorporated in quantitative decision models. Then, we present three representative and diverse examples of prevailing quantitative approaches for managing C-bC. Finally, we discuss some avenues for future research.
