Chronic diseases are frequent and potentially severe. Type II diabetes, asthma and heart failure affect 3.3 million, 4 million and 1 million people respectively in France. They are sources of avoidable mortality as well as disabilities leading to a loss of years of full health life (DALYS). Cumulatively, they were responsible for the loss of more than 1 million DALYS in 2019 in France. National and international recommendations also include TVE in the management of these three diseases. This severity can be reduced by better management underpinned by therapeutic education. By improving their knowledge of the disease, it allows a better adherence of patients to the care project, the achievement of clinical and biological objectives, a decrease in the number of emergency room visits and unscheduled hospitalizations, and an improvement in the quality of life during the course of three frequent chronic diseases such as type 2 diabetes, asthma and heart failure. However, participation in a therapeutic education program remains highly variable depending on many parameters. Lack of information seems to play a major role in this context. In the Ile de France region, the density of available TEP programs is high, particularly in Paris. The three chronic diseases that are managed by an advanced practice nurse with a PCS mention have the largest number of TVE programs in Paris: type 2 diabetes (32, and 6 for diabetic foot), asthma and heart failure. In an urban area with a good supply of TVE facilities, how can investigators explain the lack of integration of these facilities into the care pathway? Among the diverse patient population consulting an emergency department suffering from type II diabetes, asthma or heart failure, investigators wish to determine the proportion of patients who have not been offered TVE during their care. Investigators will then try to identify demographic, socioeconomic, and medical factors statistically associated with the absence of FTE proposal.

This outcome corresponds to the demographic, social, economic and medical characteristics statistically associated with the absence of a therapeutic education proposal.
Time frame: Day 1
Identification of reasons for refusal to participate
This outcome corresponds to the reason for declining to participate in an TEP program for patients who have been offered one.
Time frame: Day 1
