Welcome to the webpage of ARISTEIA - ABREVIATE project
The research programme “Applying effective and Beneficial strategies to REduce unscheduled and urgent VIsits of patients with chronic physical illnesses to AccidenT and Emergency departments” is co-funded by the European Union - European Social Fund - ESF and the Hellenic Ministry of Culture, Education and Religious Affairs through the Operational Programme “Education and Lifelong Learning” of NSRF (National Strategic Reference Framework) (Programme No: 1259, Protocol No: 9380/7-9-2011).
People with chronic physical illnesses often seek medical help in the evenings or at weekends because their condition is worsening. This programme aims to understand the need for this out-of-hours care and assess whether the need may be reduced if more comprehensive routine care is developed.
