Older Adults ’ Demand for Integrated Care and Its Influencing Factors: A Scoping Review

In Limbo: Seven Families ’ Experiences of Encounter with Cancer Care in Norway
Conclusion:This study provides insight into families ’ experiences with cancer care from referral until the start of treatment.

We argue that our findings highlight the tension between two ideals of professional c...

Workforce Development in Integrated Care: A Scoping Review
Conclusion: Good-quality research on workforce development in integrated care is scarce. The literature overwhelmingly recognises that integrated care training and workforce development is required, and emerging frameworks and competencies have been developed. More knowledge is needed to implement and evaluate these frameworks, including the broader health and social care workforces within a global context.

Implementing Asset-Based Integrated Care: A Tale of Two Localities
Discussion:The evidence presented in this paper demonstrates that the implementation of LAC, as with most complex service innovations, is dependent on the interplay of organisational and people-based components. In particular, successful implementation depends on maintaining a common vision of what an intervention will achieve and how it will work in practice, continual engagement with the political and organisational leaders of influence, positively addressing the anxieties of existing services and professions, and working with community groups.

Integrating Health and Care in China: Lessons Learned and Future Outlook
Conclusions: The experiences of China in the integration of health and care could be summarized as a top-down approach in policy formulation and implementation, the significant employment of pilots and demonstrations, and the activation of market forces. However, China is still in the initial stage of integrating health and care and is faced with system-level challenges in its financing, management, and workforce, and faces technical challenges, such as a lack of tools, and standards. In the future, these issues need to be addressed. Published on 2021-11-08 10:19:26 (Source: International Journal of Integrated Care)

The Advantages and Disadvantages of Integrated Care Implementation in Central and Eastern Europe – Perspective from 9 CEE Countries
Conclusion:CEE health systems had come to practice implicit rationing in the form of under-the-table payments from patients, quasi-formal payments to providers to compensate for lack of funding, and long waiting lists forcing patients to the private sector.
