Applying Complexity Theory to a Hospital Complex Patient Care Program
Increasingly, complexity science concepts are informing health care design and practice. The present paper describes the implementation of early complexity science principles in a Complex Care Program with the aim of strengthening the provision of integrated care. Grounded in cybernetic network theory, Stafford Beer ’s Viable Systems Model [1] provided the guiding principles for the program’s redesign. The Viable Systems Model with its broadly applicable principles [1], is now the conceptual model of information management in the program. Beer’s framework has enabled a relatively small number of clinician s to coordi...

Exploring the Quality Paradigms in Integrated Care: The Need for Emergence and Reflection
This study aims to explore the use of the four quality paradigms in integrated care, and to shed light on the different paradigmatic commitments and different perspectives on quality.Methods: Peer-reviewed articles from the International Journal of Integrated care published between January 2015 and December 2019 were included in this study. For each article was determined in which paradigm it belonged. Additionally, the role of the patient and domain of impact in research, policy or practice in relationship to the paradigms were investigated.Results: In total, 255 articles were assessed based on the four quality paradigms....

A Qualitative Study on the Implementation of Flexible Assertive Community Treatment – an Integrated Community-based Treatment Model for Patients with Severe Mental Illness
Conclusion: FACT increases access to intensive care for a broader group of patients with severe mental illness. However, findings from this study also suggest that the increased caseload in FACT compared with ACT and a changed mindset may not reflect the needs of the smaller group of patients who find it difficult to engage with mental health care services.

Measuring Processes of Integrated Care for Hospital to Home Transitions
Conclusion: Multiple measurement perspectives are needed to improve our understanding of how integrated care is being implemented. While chart review cannot address the full breadth of integrated care, it can help understand how processes of care are being implemented in routine daily care.
