HSMC Policy Paper 5. Integrating Care and Transforming Community Services: What Works? Where Next? (24th September 2009)
Health Services Management Centre (HSMC) has recently launched a new policy paper on integrated care. This follows on from a seminar organised by HSMC earlier this year which brought together experts from the US and UK to consider the issues and the evidence for what works.
Ham and De Silva’s paper summarises the presentations made at the seminar and considers the implications for policy makers and practitioners, noting the increasing interest in integrated care given the context of an ageing population and the increasing burden of chronic disease.
The authors note that while integrated care may not be the only solution, it has an important role to play in ensuring quality and the effective use of resources.
