Providing integrated care for older people with complex needs: Lessons from seven international case studies
This report synthesises evidence from seven case study programmes, each from a different country, that are successfully delivering integrated health and social care for older people with complex needs.
The aim is to identify lessons for policy-makers and service providers to help them improve how care is designed and co-ordinated. The seven countries that provide the case studies – Australia, Canada, the Netherlands, New Zealand, Sweden, the United Kingdom and the United States – all have a large proportion of their populations aged 65 and over and can expect many of these people to live for at least another two decades (see Table 1 opposite).
The added value of examining case studies from different countries is to elicit those features of integrated care development that appear to be universal determinants for successful deployment, thus overcoming some of the constraints from previous work that has general been highly context-specific.
