A multidisciplinary, multimodal approach represents the highest quality of care and is becoming more and more the standard of care in this field. Delivering a multidisciplinary service is not simply a matter to offer a summation of different discipline expertise; it requires an actual integration between them and with different behavioral and social aspects. Organizational aspects are crucial and the key professional figure of Clinical Case Coordinator has to be implemented. All this requires an effort from clinicians, and caregivers in general, to become familiar with Patients Reported Outcomes (PRO) and outcomes measurement instruments. Value in healthcare represents one of the most interesting challenges in the future. CPP multidisciplinary services are in the frontline to depict this future.\nAccess this chapter\nTax calculation will be finalised at checkout\nPurchases are for personal use only\nSimilar content being viewed by others\nReferences\nDoggweiler R, Whitmore K, Meijlink JM, et al.
