Integration of care is emerging as a central challenge of health care delivery, particularly for patients with multiple, complex chronic conditions. Dr. Sara Singer is one of the authors of a report that argues that the concept of “integrated patient care” would benefit from further clarification. Defining and Measuring Integrated Patient Care: Promoting the Next Frontier in Health Care Delivery is the report title as well as the webinar she hosts for The Conference Board of Canada.
Listen to Defining and Measuring Integrated Patient Care: Promoting the Next Frontier in Health Care Delivery and hear Dr. Singer speak to the report findings which proposed the definition of integrated patient care that distinguishes it from integrated delivery organizations, acknowledging that integrated organizational structures and processes may fail to produce integrated patient care. The definition emphasizes patients’ central role as active participants in managing their own health by including patient centredness as a key element of integrated patient care.
