Lessons Learned from Providing Integrated Care Within an Interprofessional Learning and Innovation Network in the Community
Introduction: The Interprofessional Learning and Innovation Network (IP-LIN), comprising nursing and social care professionals, students, and teachers, was established to enhance integrated care competences, specifically attention to health and wellbeing for older adults living in the community. Description: This case study with ten interprofessional case discussions and two focus groups was completed with nursing and social work professionals, s…
Unlocking Potential: The Potential Impact of ‘Happymakers’ in Alleviating the Labor Shortage in Dementia Care Work: The Paradigm Shift From Care to Well-Being at an Amsterdam-Based Long-Term Care Faci…
Overall, the findings suggest that the integration model which includes the paradigm shift from care to well-being, positively influences care quality as well as job satisfaction potentially alleviating the labor market shortage. The study suggests further research on strategies for integrating formal with informal care work and comparative research between integrated dementia care and more traditional, medical oriented types of care
From Integrated Care to Integrating Care: A Conceptual Framework of Behavioural Processes Underlying Effective Collaboration in Care
Fostering effective collaboration takes time and adequate conditions, fitting the particular context. As this context continuously changes, the processes and conditions require continuous attention. Integrated care, therefore, actually requires a carefully designed process of integrating care
Lessons learned of providing integrated care within an interprofessional learning and innovation network in the community
Introduction: Providing integrated care, i.e. attention for health and wellbeing, to older people living at home, is the ideal of policymakers and older people themselves. With setting up two Interprofessional Learning- and InnovationNetworks (LINs) in the community, consisting of nursing and social care professionals, students and teachers, we are pursuing this ideal. Implementing LINs: With support from managers, the interprofessional LINs were…
It takes three to tango: An ethnography of triadic involvement of residents, families and nurses in long‐term dementia care
BACKGROUND: Researchers often stress the necessity and challenge of integrating the positionings of residents, family members and nurses in order to realize each actor's involvement in long-term dementia care. Yet most studies approach user and family involvement separately. AIM: To explain how productive involvement in care provision is accomplished in triadic relationships between residents, family members and nurses. METHODS: An ethnographic s…

Who Participates in Public Participation? The Exclusionary Effects of Inclusionary Efforts
Highlighting public-service actors’ deliberately tokenistic or self-serving efforts, existing literature has shown that public participation often involves the co-optation of sympathetic citizens. In contrast, our study demonstrates that participatory advocates may discredit and marginalize critical voices despite their own inclusive, democratic ideals. We analyze the entangled legitimacy claims of participating citizens and “inviting” public-ser…
Analysing boundaries of health and social care in policy and media reform narratives
Collaboration has become an imperative of many new healthcare policies; however, little attention has been paid to how system-level narratives in both policy documents and the media create boundaries that shape implementation processes. By using boundary work as a theoretical lens, this article critically analyses the discourse found in both policy documents and the media surrounding the 2015 Dutch LTC reform. This discourse analysis contributes,…
A Decade of Lessons Learned from Integration Strategies in the Netherlands
In the Dutch context integration implies a permanent pursuit of aligning mechanisms for integration. Sustainable integration requires long-standing efforts of all relevant stakeholders and cannot be achieved quickly. It may take a decade of consistently applying a mix of policy instruments
Strategies for large scale implementation of integrated care
IntroductionIn this workshop we will share lessons learned from Canada, England and the Netherlands on how innovations or good practices in integrated care can be widely spread and implemented. We will depict how adopters of innovations can be supported in capacity building. The success of system-level spread is contingent on a large number of well supported and committed adopters.BackgroundOften, it is assumed that national/regional policy measu…
Engaged yet excluded: The processual, dispersed, and political dynamics of boundary work
What happens when people try to ‘transcend’ organizational boundaries and engage with so-called outsiders? Current boundary-work literature does not fully account for the processual, dispersed, and political dynamics triggered by such efforts. To address this shortcoming, this article builds on an ethnographic study of a professional care provider’s attempts to engage local citizens within one of its care homes. We analyze how actors negotiate th…
Citizens as Active Participants in Integrated Care: Challenging the Field’s Dominant Paradigms
Policy makers, practitioners and academics often claim that care users and other citizens should be 'at the center' of care integration pursuits. Nonetheless, the field of integrated care tends to approach these constituents as passive recipients of professional and managerial efforts. This paper critically reflects on this discrepancy, which, we contend, indicates both a key objective and an ongoing challenge of care integration; i.e., the need …

Empowering citizens or mining resources? The contested domain of citizen engagement in professional care services
I am a single mother of seven running a household! Professionals mastering identity ambiguity to improve participation in a small-scale nursing home
Introduction: Participation of service users and carers is advocated in many countries, because involvement of these lay partners inform high-quality, person-centered care. Despite increasing discussions on conceptualizations of participation and person-centered care, it is unclear how the envisioned approach can be translated in practice. Moreover, the strong, paternalistic professional identity is usually considered to impede transformation and…
Social decision making in integrated care
The literature on integrated care mainly focuses on institutional and structural aspects of integration, such as macro-level organizational characteristics, information systems, legislation, and funding mechanisms, in a number of publications conceptualized in definitions and models. Although it is acknowledged that human factors, such as motivation, leadership, entrepreneurship, and commitment, are relevant as well (Nies & Berman, 2004; Billings…
Governance and ownership of citizen driven forms of integrated care
Background: In the Netherlands the complexity of the governance of health care organisations, especially in long-term care, will increase. This is related to a large health care reforms and transitions which are currently implemented. In 2015 all relevant health and social care legislation will change. The aim is to strengthen care in the community and care by the community. This implies a larger focus on the responsibilities of citizens. Moreove…

Integrated community-based dementia care: The Geriant model
This article gives an in-depth description of the service delivery model of Geriant, a Dutch organization providing community-based care services for people suffering from dementia. Core to its model is the provision of clinical case management, embedded in multidisciplinary dementia care teams. As Geriant's client group includes people from the first presumption of dementia until they can no longer live at home, its care model provides valuable …

Managing effective partnerships in older people's services
The integration of older people's services is a challenge to all countries with an ageing population. Although it is widely acknowledged that acute care, long-term care, social care, housing, leisure, education and other services should all operate in a more 'joined-up manner', achieving this in practice remains extremely difficult. Against this background, the European Union (EU) Care and Management of Services for Older People in Europe Network…

Communities as co-producers in integrated care
Integrated care has become too much a professionals' concept, in research and theory development, as well as in practice, especially in high-income countries. The current debate on integrated care is dominated by norms and values of professionals, while most of the care is provided by non-professionals. The paradigms of integrated care for people with complex needs need to be reconsidered. It is argued that non-professional care and care by local…
Day Care in the United Kingdom and the Netherlands: A Comparative Study
The United Kingdom and the Netherlands differ significantly with respect to structure, policy, legislation and financing of their care delivery systems. Day care services for elderly people thus developed in considerably different policy and socio-historical contexts. In this article various aspects of day care in the two countries are compared. The most marked distinctions between the countries concern supply and distribution of services. The pr…

Research and the Local Planning of Services for Elderly People: An Interactive Approach
The assessment of need and the vested interests of powerful actors constitute two major problems in the local planning of services for elderly people. In this article the contribution of applied research to these planning processes is explored by means of a case study into care delivery to long term elderly patients. The case study design appears to be well suited for this type of research. Triangulation, a focus on person-environment dynamics an…
