Anne Bramaud Du Boucheron’s scientific contributions

Intermed, a primary care support nurse (PCN) model, was piloted from 2014 to 2021 in a general practice in La Chaux-de-Fonds. In collaboration with the physician and medical assistant, the PCN supports a proactive Chronic Care Model organization, and focuses specifically on patients in complex chronic situations. Integrated into the medical center, the PCN benefits from a close relationship with the physician. Her services, without apparent additional cost, often clarify the functioning of the network around the patients while allowing the latter to regain control over their care. However, her independent status makes her activity economically unviable within the framework of the LAMal and would require a mode of salaried employment which remains to be invented.

Un modèle de collaboration entre l'infirmière et le médecin permet d'améliorer la prise en charge des patients souffrant de maladies chroniques-telle est l'hypothèse d'une recherche-action menée dans le cadre du projet Intermed.
