Integrated depression care (Ideca) project
Background: Depression in Belgium is the number one reason for disability-adjusted life years lost. Unmet care needs are plenty, partly caused by a lack of care integration. Integration of mental health services within primary care can be achieved through strengthening general medical practice with a dedicated mental health professional working across care lines. Estimating the direct budget impact of such a care model is pivotal for its sustaina…
The Belgian Integrated DEpression Care (Ideca) project
Background: Depression creates a substantial personal burden for affected individuals and their families, and produces significant economic and social hardships that affect society as a whole. In Belgium, depression is a leading cause of disability, measured as disability-adjusted life years. The COVID-19 pandemic has greatly exacerbated the already substantial health and socioeconomic consequences of depression and has led to major changes in th…
Patient-experiences of osteoporosis care through an Integrated, People-Centred Health Services (IPCHS)-framework lens
Introduction: Aligning healthcare systems worldwide to meet the challenge of caring for the world’s rapidly growing older population is among the most important goals of the World Health Organization (WHO) Decade of Healthy Ageing (2021-2030). This entails ensuring people have broad access to the most effective diagnostic and prevention strategies, treatments and care for diseases that disproportionately impact the aging, such as osteoporosis. Cu…
An Instrument to Measure Maturity of Integrated Care
The B3-MM dimensions, maturity indicators and assessment scale showed satisfactory content validity. While the B3-MM is a unique instrument based on existing knowledge and experiences of regions in integrated care, further testing is needed to explore other measurement properties of B3-MM
A Policy Guide on Integrated Care (PGIC)
Efforts are underway in many European countries to channel efforts into creating improved integrated health and social care services. But most countries lack a strategic plan that is sustainable over time, and that reflects a comprehensive systems perspective. The Policy Guide on Integrated Care (PGIC) as presented in this paper resulted from experiences with the EU Project INTEGRATE and our own work with healthcare reform for patients with chron…
Measuring maturity of integrated care
Introduction: Lessons learned from an observational study and based on unstructured interviews with twelve European health regions are represented in a new instrument, the B3-Maturity Model (B3-MM). B3-MM aims to assess maturity along 12 dimensions (i.e. Breadth of Ambition, Capacity Building, Citizen Empowerment, Evaluation Methods, Finance & Funding, Information & eHealth services, Innovation Management, Population Approach, Readiness to Change…
How to Improve Integrated Care for People with Chronic Conditions
The lessons learned and critical success factors to policy making on integrated care show that a comprehensive systems perspective should guide the development of integrated care towards better health practices, education, research and policy
Strengthening a competent health workforce for the provision of coordinated/ integrated health services
Finding more efficient, innovative and responsive ways of engaging the health workforce to manage patients is key to ensuring integrated care. Systems that are transforming their services to be more integrated must ensure that health professionals are ready to fill the new roles assigned to them in prevention and pro-active patient management, manage health and care rather than disease and cure, work in teams across professions and sectors, work …

Systematic review on policies, programmes and interventions on high quality people-centred integrated care
High quality people-centred integrated care conducive to universal health coverage (UHC) is a construct for which there is no universally agreed conceptual framework available. This systematic literature review provides a comprehensive overview of policies, programmes and strategies that are of relevance in relation to this construct, either directly of indirectly. The review was done as part of work commissioned by the World Health Organization …
Project Integrate, Developing a conceptual framework to understand the complexity of integrated care through case study research
Integrated care is a concept that is widely used in different health systems across Europe, but there remains a lack of a common definition for integrated care which is universally accepted. This reflects the polymorphous nature of a concept that has been applied from several disciplinary and professional perspectives and is associated with diverse objectives
Monitoring Modifiable Cardiovascular Risk in Type 2 Diabetes Care in General Practice
BACKGROUND: Because many patients in usual care reach the diabetes treatment goals, it may be more efficacious to focus quality improvement efforts on those general practice populations requiring additional support. We therefore developed a tool based on a composite end point considering blood pressure, lipids, and glycaemia. METHODS: We created an aggregated z(A)-score, calculated as the average of 3 z-scores testing whether the mean practice va…
Diversity in diabetes care programmes and views on high quality diabetes care
There is large diversity in diabetes care programmes and related quality indicators. From this review and our analysis on the mutual relationship between diversity in diabetes care programmes and the conceptualization of high quality diabetes care, we conclude that no single conceptual framework used to date provides a comprehensive overview of attributes of high quality diabetes care linked to quality indicators at the structure, process and out…
