Observational Study
[Impact of cardiovascular risk factors on the consumption of resources in Primary Care according to Clinical Risk Groups].
To analyze the prevalence of Cardiovascular Risk Factors (CVRF) in the context of a Basic Health Area and the impact they generate on morbidity and consumption of healthcare resources in the stratified population according to the Clinical System Risk Groups (CRG) in Primary Care, with the purpose of identifying the population with multimorbidity to apply preventive measures, as well as the one that generates the highest care burden and social needs. ⋯ The study of CVRF in a stratified population using the CRG system identifies and predicts where the greatest impact on morbidity and consumption of healthcare resources is generated. It allows us to know the groups of patients where to develop prevention and chronicity strategies. At the level of clinical practice, a new concept of multimorbidity is provided, defined from the state of health CRG 4 and above.

Nurse demand management (NDM) is an emerging concept that requires some useful clarification, not only for professionals and users but also for managers. The NDM was born in 2009 after the need to reorganize the flow of demand, but it has become more than this. ⋯ Therefore, following Primary Care's philosophy, both the doctor and the nurse are the professionals that will follow up the health-disease process throughout the user's life. This article was written according to the methodology described by Wilson.
