The role of collaborative, multistakeholder partnerships in reshaping the health management of patients with noncommunicable diseases during and after the COVID-19 pandemic

Abstract

Background Policies to combat the COVID-19 pandemic have disrupted the screening, diagnosis, treatment, and monitoring of noncommunicable (NCD) patients while affecting NCD prevention and risk factor control. Aims To discuss how the first wave of the COVID-19 pandemic affected the health management of NCD patients, identify which aspects should be carried forward into future NCD management, and propose collaborative efforts among public–private institutions to effectively shape NCD care models. Methods The NCD Partnership, a collaboration between Upjohn and the European Innovation Partnership on Active and Healthy Ageing, held a virtual Advisory Board in July 2020 with multiple stakeholders; healthcare professionals (HCPs), policymakers, researchers, patient and informal carer advocacy groups, patient empowerment organizations, and industry experts. Results The Advisory Board identified barriers to NCD care during the COVID-19 pandemic in four areas: lack of NCD management guidelines; disruption to integrated care and shift from hospital-based NCD care to more community and primary level care; infodemics and a lack of reliable health information for patients and HCPs on how to manage NCDs; lack of availability, training, standardization, and regulation of digital health tools. Conclusions Multistakeholder partnerships can promote swift changes to NCD prevention and patient care. Intra- and inter-communication between all stakeholders should be facilitated involving all players in the development of clinical guidelines and digital health tools, health and social care restructuring, and patient support in the short-, medium- and long-term future. A comprehensive response to NCDs should be delivered to improve patient outcomes by providing strategic, scientific, and economic support.

Consumption of cardiovascular and antithrombotic drugs during the spread of coronavirus infection in retail sector of the Samara region pharmaceutical market

“…Особенность современного этапа заключается в сочетании двух пандемий -инфекционной, обусловленной распространением COVID-19, и пандемией сердечно-сосудистых заболеваний, которая продолжает наносить основной ущерб популяции Российской Федерации. Известно, что сердечно-сосудистая коморбидность является детерминантой тяжелого течения и смертности у пациентов с COVID-19 [1].Вирус SARS-CoV-2, обладая высокой тропностью к сосудистому эндотелию, усугубляет его дисфункцию, пропорциональную сердечно-сосудистому риску, тем самым создавая основу для артериальных и венозных тромбозов, дестабилизации существующих атеросклеротических бляшек [2,3].В сложившейся ситуации купирование основных факторов сердечно-сосудистого риска: артериальной гипертензии (АГ), гиперхолестеринемии и дислипидемии наряду с фармакотерапией заболеваний, обусловленных атеросклерозом, приобретает как никогда острую медико-социальную значимость [4,5].В условиях пандемии COVID-19 весьма затруднительны традиционные подходы, использующиеся в крупных эпидемио-ОРИГИНАЛЬНАЯ СТАТЬЯ…”

Nurses’ awareness of the availability of HIV and AIDS research

“…According to Monaco et al ( 2021 :1), multi-stakeholder partnerships can promote nurses’ awareness of the availability of HIV and AIDS research in the prevention and patient care changes. To create effective nurses’ awareness of the availability of HIV and AIDS research, there must be intra- and inter-communication among all nurses in developing clinical research.…”

In addition, a comprehensive nurses’ awareness of HIV and AIDS research would create a response to HIV and AIDS prevention that would improve patient outcomes by providing strategic, scientific and economic support (Monaco 2021 :1).…”

Decision Conflicts in Clinical Care during COVID-19: A Multi-Perspective Inquiry

“…Multi-stakeholder approaches have been recommended to deal with this dilemma [ 15 ]. Intra- and inter-communication between all stakeholders may have a specific role in coping strategies involving all players in the development of adapted processes during the pandemic.…”
