Preferences for Models of Care for Older People With High Care Needs
Introduction The rising number of older adults, many with long‐term conditions or limitations in activities of daily living, is expected to increase demand for social care services and for housing options to accommodate their future care needs. Additionally, an increasingly diverse population may require care models that respond to different preferences, beliefs and values. This study aims to explore how preferences to meet future care needs vary…
The Social Prescribing Link Worker—Clarifying the Role to Harness Potential
Recent work outlines definitions of social prescribing, but the role of a social prescribing link worker (SPLW) remains ill defined. Core components of the role must be clarified to enable the study of its impact in connecting people to community‐based support and subsequent outcomes. This review compiles and summarises published information on the SPLW role. A scoping review was completed using the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Review…
Measures to assess and improve quality in Integrated Care Systems in England
Background: In England, 42 Integrated Care Systems (ICS) have been responsible for organising and delivering integrated health and social care services since July 2022. ICSs bring together previously siloed organisations to deliver quality care in their local area. To understand the usefulness of integration, it needs to be systematically and comprehensively evaluated. This study aimed to understand how ICSs use measures to assess and improve qua…
Capturing the impact of integrated care
The evidence underpinning integrated care remains uncertain, with numerous examples of evaluations finding little robust evidence of intended impacts on health or reporting conflicting results. Reasons for this include problems with the design and implementation of integrated care initiatives and issues with integrated care evaluations themselves, such as lack of suitable comparator or poorly defined outcome measures. In this interactive workshop…
Floundering or Flourishing? Early Insights from the Inception of Integrated Care Systems in England
Despite ICS's investing in the structural and relational components of integrated care, the unprecedented pressures on systems to reduce demand on primary and emergency care tackling elective backlogs may detract from a key goal of ICSs, improving population health and prevention
Let Us Keep the Emergency Department Safe
Internationally, community healthcare is provided by personal health budgets or personalised schemes as part of a consumer‐directed care emphasis. Although the introduction of a personalised scheme in Australia has improved the lives of many, people with psychosocial disability (PSD) and their families have experienced many challenges with service integration. Six focus groups with 17 National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS) support workers we…
An absence of evidence breeds contempt
Poor-quality medicines pose a significant challenge for health systems in low- to middle-income countries (LMICs),with recent deaths in multiple countries following ingestion of substandard cough syrups emphasising the need for quality-assurance of medicines in our increasingly interconnected global markets. Research also suggests that the source (country of manufacture) and type of medicine (generic/brand) are perceived to be associated with med…
Integrated Care Systems in England
Background: Health and social care services in England have been restructured to 42 Integrated Care Systems (ICS). ICSs are responsible for delivering integrated services in their local area to prevent illness; identify and treat illness effectively; and provide support to improve quality of life for people with long-term illness or disability. Under the umbrella of ICSs, previously siloed organisations need to work together to deliver quality ca…
Engaging with care
This paper contributes to the literature on ethics in Participatory Research by looking at the Researcher-in-Residence model and its application within health services research in three East London boroughs. The Researcher-in-Residence is embedded in the organisation to enable knowledge mobilisation and knowledge coproduction. Whereas negotiation of different types of expertise to coproduce evidence might raise issues of power differentials, the …
Co‐location, an enabler for service integration? Lessons from an evaluation of integrated community care teams in East London
In an attempt to support care integration that promotes joined up service provision and patient-centred care across care boundaries, local health and social care organisations have embarked on several initiatives and approaches. A key component of service integration is the co-location of different professional groups. In this study, we consider the extent to which co-location is an enabler for service integration by examining multi-professional …
Understanding integrated care at the frontline using organisational learning theory
Integrated care has been proposed as an organising principle to address the challenges of the rising demand for care services and limited resources. There is limited understanding of the role of learning in integrated care systems. Organisational Learning (OL) theory in the guise of 'Learning Practice' can offer a lens to study service integration and reflect on some of the challenges faced by multi-professional teams in developing a learning cul…
