Timeline for program development. The three implementation studies (Fig. 2) will be conducted in parallel. The 24-month lifespan of the programs will be divided in two main phases of approximately one-year duration each. The initial co-design Plan-Do-Study-Act (PDSA) cycle will be devoted to co-design and refinement of the service workflows, set-up and assessment of ICT-supporting tools, and identification of key performance indicators. During the second PDSA cycle, the program will be adopted at pilot level in the healthcare sector. This second phase will be used to fine tune the services, assess and refine ICT-supporting tools, as well as to consolidate the long-term evaluation plans. The two PDSA cycles will have a multidisciplinary approach including patients and professionals with different profiles (i.e. physiotherapists, nurses, general practitioners, medical specialists and technologists). AIS-BE stands for Integrated Care Area of Barcelona-Esquerra (540.000 citizens)
