Partnering for Partnerships
Health and care systems around the globe are struggling to cope with the imbalance between increasing demands and system constraints. The International healthcare literature has proposed that “learning organisations” or “learning healthcare systems” (LHS) that continuously generate and apply evidence, innovation, quality, and value can provide better care. This could be of value to the successful realisation of integrated care. The National Rehab…
Interdisciplinary Teamwork
Research has promoted the value of person-orientated care & interdisciplinary teamworking (IDT), yet they are not consistently implemented in clinical practice. Patients involved in their own goal setting experience greater improvements in functioning, and they prefer a shared decision-making approach to goal setting. This fosters a culture that supports knowledge translation and change management by enhancing patient communication & individualiz…

To plan the organisational journey, the Health Service Executive in Ireland surveyed all…
Participatory workshop with Multidisciplinary Integrated Care stakeholders to Development of priority areas for the development of leadership for successful integrated care
BackgroundIt is well recognised that health and social care systems need to deliver joined-up services and for many countries, integrated care is mooted as the solution. Key to this is leadership and although there are many frameworks for the delivery of integrated care, and theories of leadership, there is very little in the literature about leadership development programmes specifically to develop and support leaders in integrated care.A projec…
Assessing the State of Preparedness to Deliver Integrated Care in a National Health System by Developing and Applying the Project Integrate Conceptual Framework as a Tool
1. Introduction:Integrated care by definition aims that care delivery processes should work seamlessly. Moving from a current provider-centric system to one enabling integrated care delivery is a big journey. The Health Service Executive in Ireland decided to assess its position so as to plan the journey. While tools such as the Scirocco model (1) are recognised, they focus on the overall system. Ireland wanted to be person-centric in focussing o…
