PRICA

The PRICA program is intended for primary care physicians.
Primary care physicians work under constant pressure: patient numbers and administrative demands are increasing, chronic diseases are becoming more complex, and social turbulence and poor professional connections make their work even more difficult.
Burnout and a decline in motivation create a threatening spiral that destabilizes mental health. Social and professional values are rarely properly emphasized. In urban environments with multicultural challenges, the risk of misunderstandings and miscommunication increases. Despite their crucial role, primary care physicians have limited access to other levels of care and no clear career prospects, and their work is poorly recognized.

    Objectives

    To facilitate change management and recognize patient expectations, influence coordination within the team and between the team and institutions, family and community, create conditions that reduce burnout and strengthen motivation, improve work in a multicultural and multilingual environment, and increase the visibility and social recognition of primary care.

“PRICA” and “RUMED” respond to modern challenges of physicians operationally and strategically.

    Operational Response (OpinioNet)

    – a digital infrastructure comprised of tools and processes that optimize everyday work with patients and their families.
    Using it simplifies the transfer of professional topics and makes verified information available. It enables active engagement and interaction and strengthens communication with patients’ families and their employers. Structured communication with the local community (e.g., politicians) and highlighting the personal values and experiences of doctors raises the value of their professional and private lives.

    Strategic Response (Opinion HUB)

    – a business framework that strengthens the influence of doctors in the community and creates career perspectives.
    It is a business center that provides authority and support, builds a sense of belonging, and simultaneously represents the needs and requirements of doctors to employers and politicians. It is a business community that facilitates the international presentation of innovations and practices, as well as the transdisciplinary coordination of professional communication.

PROGRAM DURATION AND STRUCTURE
The structure is based on sixteen aspects of the second opinion process. There are 84 total hours in one year.

Each aspect is addressed through dialogue, conversation, elaboration, practical meetings, exercises, evaluations, and reflections.

The program can be conducted in English, German, or Croatian. For information groups and interactive groups, a minimum of six participants is required.
