Chapter Chapter 1 in Handbook Integrated Care, 2021, pp 3-25 from Springer

Abstract: Abstract Integrated care is difficult to define and understand since it represents a complex service innovation in the way health and care services should be redesigned around people’s needs. Consequently, integrated care has come to mean different things to different people and the resulting conceptual ‘soup’ has often acted as a barrier when it comes to developing commonly understood strategies to support implementation and change. This chapter attempts to outline that there are three distinct dimensions to what integrated care means in practice.
