deze problematiek is niet altijd goed in te kaarten met de eenvoudige middelen in de eerste lijn.

Many thanks.

Explanation:
The term "inkaarten" is used typically with chronical disases like diabetes and asthma. It means a patient who has been diagnosed will be registered, have certain tests performed, and the results filed for future reference. So in this case the term is used in the sense of "mapping" out all aspects of a patient's diagnostic and symptomatic make-up. The term "kaart" could also refer to the old-fashioned paper file system, based on cards, on which all relevant data was collected.

to deal with


Explanation:
inkaarten is used to mean to respond to, or take advantage of... evidently it cannot mean the latter -
odd phrasing (imho)

diagnose or treat


Explanation:
Depending upon what is meant by 'eenvoudinge middelen' (diagnostische middelen of behandelingsmiddelen)...I have a hunch the author meant to say "in kaart te brengen", thus 'diagnose'. More context would probably be useful in this case.

Example sentence(s):
  • This condition is not always easy to diagnose with simple first-line diagnostics.
