What is integrated care?
and social care, an important focus will be on establishing work groups as a way of
engaging care professionals in the operation of integrated care (Simoens and Scott,
2005); developing structures and processes to enable teams and/or organisations
to work collaboratively towards common goals (Rosen and Ham, 2008); and/
or building leadership and management capacity to facilitate partnership(s)
(Feachem and Sekhri, 2005).
·The interplay between different types of integration can influence the value that
can be secured. For instance, integrating administrative processes can significantly
aid integration of clinical services into a single process (Shortell, 2000). Similarly,
simply focusing on organisational integration in an attempt to integrate providers
is unlikely to create improvements in care for patients (Ramsey and Fulop, 2008)
