This article was developed from a non-systematic review  of scientific and grey literature followed by a qualitative analysis and researcher reflections on ICC.Results: The article presents the core concepts of ICC, namely temporality, local area,  health care, social care, proximity and integration. These concepts are unpacked and a conceptual diagram is set forth to put the dynamic links between the concepts into perspective.Discussion and conclusion: The purpose of the article is to provide a conceptual clarification of ICC. Three examples of practise (from Switzerland, Quebec [Canada] and Italy) are used as illustrations to provide a better understanding of ICC and to  open up horizons. Published on 2021-02-10 11:34:19
