Public health triangulation to inform decision-making in Belgium

Abstract: We assessed the impact of a nation-wide ambulatory care complex intervention (the care trajectory program) on quality of care in Belgium.

Abstract: We assessed the impact of a nation-wide ambulatory care complex intervention (the care trajectory program) on quality of care in Belgium. We used the three-step public health triangulation method described in this paper and data from four different data sources: a national reimbursement database, an electronic patient record-based general practitioner network, the Belgian general practitioner sentinel network, and a new national registry for care trajectory patients. By applying our method and using the available evidence, we identified key findings that have been accepted by experts and stakeholders. We also produced timely recommendations for the decision-making process, four years after the start of the care trajectory program.
