Multimorbidity, which is the co-occurrence of several diseases in one person, has become a challenge in our western societies and even more health professionals are looking for innovative solutions to better address patients' needs through a "patient-centered" approach which takes into account the person in his/her complexity and context, rather than focusing on single diseases in the current "silo" manner.

Could you explain the most innovative elements of this initiative?
