| Popis: | Introduction To reduce the burden of chronic lung diseases, the Lung Alliance Netherlands has designed a National Action programme on Chronic Lung Diseases. It aims to improve healthcare coordination, thereby reducing the burden of chronic lung diseases, by focussing on five objectives to be achieved within five years: (1) a 25% reduction in hospitalisation days for asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease; (2) a 15% reduction in working days lost due to respiratory diseases; (3) a 20% improved cost-effectiveness of inhalation medication; (4) a 25% reduction of adolescents taking up smoking; and (5) a 10% reduction of mortality due to asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. Methods/design Baseline data were collected from Dutch registries with the most recent available data from 2011, 2012 and 2013. To achieve the objectives, the Lung Alliance Netherlands presented various key activities and strategies that are described in this paper. Discussion The ambitious objectives are interconnected and their mutual reinforcement is expected to have a beneficial impact on the burden of chronic lung diseases. A strength of the Dutch national action programme is the extensive cooperation between the multiple healthcare parties that contribute to the coordination of the delivery of healthcare. A potential weakness is the relatively short time span of the programme, which may prevent observing its full potential. |
