Chapter Chapter 6 in Handbook Integrated Care, 2021, pp 81-103 from Springer

Abstract: Abstract In this chapter we examine the impact of social issues on people’s health and well-being and present the argument that integration at both population-level and in delivery of direct services are necessary to achieve better outcomes and address inequalities. Different approaches to responding to social need are taken within and between countries and regions. This is influenced by macro-economic, funding and delivery structures, and also their cultural traditions of how best to care for those with social needs. Despite such differences there are common lessons that can be shared internationally.
