Interface Management

Interface management relates to policies, mechanisms, and measures of cooperation between the hospital and outpatient sectors, such as collaborative projects, joint committees, or cross-sectorial funding schemes. Interface management measures aim to provide a link between hospital and outpatient sectors since the start of a therapy in hospital care can influence the future long-term medication of the patient after discharge.
