    • Better (multidisciplinary) communication and cooperation between different care providers for patients with aspecific CANS.
    • Better information for care-providers and patients about effective treatments for people with aspecific CANS.
    • Patients receive univocal information about diagnostics, treatment and prevention.
    • Patients are better informed about decisions for diagnostics and treatment.
    • The key decisions and roles of the different care providers are presented with more clarity.
