Integrated Care

Integrated care improves patient care by focusing on transitions into and out of the healthcare system, and coordination of care. 

Integrated care is a coordinated approach to care that brings together providers from different specialties, including primary and community care, to collaborate on a person’s care for as long as it is needed. Each member of the team understands his or her role and the roles of the other team members.

The Integrated Care Approach

• Person-Centred – Care is designed with the patient and family to achieve best outcomes.
• Collaborative – Inter-professional teams work together to provide personalized care with each patient.
• Continuous – Providers plan and navigate with the patient and family over time to address their changing needs.

Goals

• Continually improve patient outcomes and experiences through partnerships
• Implement integrated patient care for patients with complex needs
