Improvement of the diagnostic and therapeutic processes and optimal use of resources in the context of health care system specificity accelerate the diagnosis and treatment onset, as well as improve the quality of life of patients with multiple sclerosis. International experience and data from clinical practice in Poland gave rise to a number of guidelines for the needed measures, from increasing the awareness about multiple sclerosis among the society and doctors in general, through expanding outpatient medical care, to proposing a model network of healthcare centres dedicated to patients with multiple sclerosis. It was pointed out that there is a need for a network of clinics specialised in the diagnosis and treatment of multiple sclerosis (MS clinics) and centres for comprehensive diagnosis and treatment, with a higher reference level and all the competences of an MS clinic, and, at the same time, providing both consultations in difficult clinical cases and access to the most advanced diagnostic and therapeutic methods. Attention was also drawn to the need to use modern e-health tools, which should improve the diagnostic and therapeutic process, as well as tighten the coordination of care by enabling an effective exchange of information between the patient and the entire interdisciplinary team involved in the therapeutic process.
