The prospects for home care are examined notably in relation to complex medical conditions and patients with multiple pathology. The essential conditions for home care are presented, linked to various categories of patients. These extramural network, extramural centre, transmural network and deconstruction scenarios represent different approaches to the organization of care delivery. Possible ways of putting the various approaches into practice are indicated in this report. Preceding the scenario report proper is an outline of the structure of the Dutch health care system.
