Criteria for designing integrated diagnosis interventions in low resource settings at the primary care level: a Delphi consensus study.

ABSTRACT: Integrated diagnosis is crucial for addressing health challenges, particularly in managing comorbidities and chronic conditions. Technological advancements allow for rapid, simultaneous testing and diagnosis of multiple diseases. Integrated diagnosis interventions vary in purpose, models, diseases targeted, populations served, scale, and measured outcomes. This diversity, combined with varying levels of resource availability and health system capacity to respond effectively to positive diagnoses, makes it challenging to identify effective strategies. An effective integrated diagnosis approach can lead to early detection of critical and chronic conditions, improve patient experiences, and ultimately improve disease surveillance. This study aimed to establish core criteria for designing same
