The programme was launched in Sha Tin and Tai Po districts of the New Territories East Cluster of HA in March 2010;
The programme aims to test a service model for public-private shared care for chronic disease patients in the primary care setting, provide patients with choices other than the public healthcare system and establish long-term patient-doctor relationship in order to achieve continuous and holistic care;
An electronic platform has been developed for timely, two-way sharing of clinical information between the HA and the private doctors participating in the programme.
