What are the priorities for the future development of integrated care? A scoping review
This study aims to address this issue.
A scoping review was conducted using Arksey and O'Malley's framework to determine IC priority areas.
Twenty-one papers relevant to the research question were identified. These included studies from many geographical regions, encompassing several study designs and a range of populations and sample sizes. The findings identified four priority areas that should be considered when designing and implementing IC models: (1) communication, (2) coordination, collaboration and cooperation (CCC), (3) responsibility and accountability and (4) a population approach. Multiple elements we...

Care transition for complex patients: a framework to analyse and develop the Operating Centres for Transition
Angelica Zazzera, Lucia Ferrara, Valeria Domenica Tozzi
Journal of Integrated Care, Vol. ahead-of-print, No. ahead-of-print, pp.-
Transitional care (TC) models emerged to ensure healthcare coordination and continuity, as at-risk patients transfer between different settings or different levels of care within the same setting. TC models have been developed in many countries as well as within different healthcare service delivery models and organizations. This paper aims to focus on a TC model developed in Italy called Operating Centre for Transition (OCT), in order to (1) explore its distinctive ...

Person-centred integrated care with a health promotion/public health approach: a rapid review
Teresa Burdett, Joanne Inman
Journal of Integrated Care, Vol. ahead-of-print, No. ahead-of-print, pp.-
Due to the need for the development of person-centred integrated models of care with a population health approach, this paper explored contemporary literature in this arena.
A systematic literature review was conducted using the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses. Papers included in this review focused upon person-centred integrated care and a health promotion/public health approach (January 2018–October 2020). Papers were excluded due to not being writte...

Julie MacInnes, Jenny Billings, Alexandra Lelia Dima, Chris Farmer, Giel Nijpels
Journal of Integrated Care, Vol. ahead-of-print, No. ahead-of-print, pp.-
The purpose of this paper is to identify the range, type and outcomes of technological innovations aimed at supporting older people to maintain their independence within the context of integrated care at home. We also discuss key emergent themes relevant to the use of person-centred technology for older people in integrated care and propose recommendations for policy and practice.
An integrative review methodology was used to identify an...

Leadership challenge: lateral systems integration for healthcare
Livia Martin
Journal of Integrated Care, Vol. ahead-of-print, No. ahead-of-print, pp.-
Government imperatives that drive integrated care are challenging corporate executive leadership. Conspicuous by its absence in both government's imperatives and the literature, is any reference to corporate executive leadership in transitioning a hierarchically oriented health system to a laterally integrated health system referred to, in this paper, as an integrated health system. This lack of reference to executive leadership involvement conveys either significant consequences or opportunities for corporat...

Person-centred communication in long-term care with older people: a scoping review
Daniel Lombard
Journal of Integrated Care, Vol. ahead-of-print, No. ahead-of-print, pp.-
Interpersonal skills are increasingly important tools in long-term care with older people, especially against the backdrop of loneliness affecting older people and expectations for a person-centred, joined-up approach. However, the term is used as a composite and its definition lacks shape and focus. In existing literature, participants appear to be selected on the basis of specific illnesses rather than age. Better understanding of the features of everyday communication processes associated with person-cen...

Multiagency working between children's social care and schools during COVID-19: case study experiences from English local authorities and international reflections
Mary Baginsky, Jill Manthorpe
Journal of Integrated Care, Vol. ahead-of-print, No. ahead-of-print, pp.-
A multiagency approach to supporting and enhancing child welfare lies at the heart of policies and practice in England and many other countries. The assumption is that if professionals together from different disciplines share their knowledge and skills this will lead to better outcomes for children and their families. The COVID-19 pandemic interrupted the “normal practice” of such arrangements. This research explored how the pandemic's disruption led to new ways of communicating and prof...

Making a difference: workforce skills and capacity for integrated care
This study did not consider workforce development and planning challenges for nursing and care staff in residential, nursing care homes or domiciliary services. This part of the workforce is integral to the care pathways for many patients, and in line with the current emerging national focus on this sector, these groups require further examination. Further, data explore service users' and carers' perspectives on workforce skills. It proved challenging to recruit patient and carer respondents for the research due to the nature of their illnesses.
Many of the required skills already existed within the workforce. The OD ...

Bumpy road: implementing integrated psychiatric and somatic care in joint-specialty emergency departments: a mixed-method study using Normalization Process Theory
This study highlights that a focus on outcomes (prolonging lifetime for people with mental illness and reducing stigmatization) can be counterproductive. Replacing the outcome focus with an output focus, in terms of how to develop and implement psychiatric/somatic IC with the patient perspective at the center, would probably be more productive.
In 2020, the Danish Health Authorities published new whole-system recommendations for emergency medicine (EM) highlighting the need for intensifying integrated intra and interorganizational care including psychiatric/somatic IC (ref). Even though this study is not conclusive, i...
