| Annotation | Integrated care seeks to close the traditional division between health and social care, and has become a core component of health and social care reforms across Europe. This guide proposes eight recommendations for policymakers to take forward the integrated care agenda: deliver coherent care policies; set realistic objectives for integrated care models; address the cultural divide between social and health care providers; find the appropriate balance between use and provider integration; leverage experience and learning from pilot projects; store research; conduct research on cost effectiveness; and explore the scope for technology to facilitate integrated care. The report also includes examples of integrated care models across Europe. (RH). |
