Abstract
The multimorbidity approach involves promotional and preventive strategies. The demand for rehabilitation services has grown exponentially in recent years, leading to the urgency of rethinking care delivery. In Chile, there are laws, programs, and guidelines that, from their theoretical basis, include a person-centered care focus. But in real practice, multiple barriers trigger important fragmentation of care. In response, a new strategy has been proposed to answer whether comprehensive rehabilitation care based on multimorbidity positively impacts the health system performance, people’s functionality, and quality of life, which will be implemented as a pilot study with a national scale-up focus
