Abstract: For better serving people's complex needs the subsequent movement to person‐centred integrated care, requires inter‐organisational cooperation and service provision by domain‐overarching networks and alliances. In the development to these networks, it is relevant to explore which accountability approaches are appropriate for local inter‐organisational healthcare governance. Therefore, in a scoping review we studied the current state of knowledge and practice of accountability in healthcare in the Netherlands. We found that two of the included 41 studies show characteristics of accountability towards healthcare with characteristics of integration care components, such as integration of services with accompanying accountability arrangements and development of networked accountability. The first studies are found in the literature which report on accountability in integrated care. With this we add to the international discussion about accountability as an aspect of integrated care governance, by providing insight into the current state of art of accountability in Dutch healthcare.
