RESUMO
The prevalence of disorders related to the movement apparatus such as osteoarthritis and neck/back complaints is increasing, thereby compromising the accessibility and affordability of movement care. Besides, these complaints cause high burden of disease, high sick leave and decreased self-sustainability. These developments demand an integral multidisciplinary and line transcending approach. Within the field of movement care several initiatives are already developed such as the Beweeghuis Network, Network Osteoarthritis, One-and-a-half line outpatient clinic Zuyderland. If healthcare evaluation of these initiatives show positive effects, these examples of network medicine can give answer and substance to the challenges and assignments discussed in the Integral Care Act. An important condition for upscaling on a national level is a new funding model in which prevention of care is being rewarded as well.
