Abstract

The COVID-19 pandemic has mandated a re-imagination of how healthcare is administered and delivered, with a view towards focusing on person-centred care and advancing population health while increasing capacity, access and equity in the healthcare system. These goals can be achieved through healthcare integration. In 2019, the University Health Network (UHN), a consortium of four quaternary care hospitals in Ontario, Canada, established the first stage of a pilot program to increase healthcare integration at the institutional level and vertically with other primary, secondary and tertiary institutions in the Ontario healthcare system. Implementation of the program was accelerated during the COVID-19 pandemic and demonstrated how healthcare integration improves person-centred care and population health; therefore serving as the foundation for a health system response for the COVID-19 pandemic recovery and beyond.

综合护理：针对 COVID-19 大流行恢复期及其后的以人为本和人口健康战略。

COVID-19 大流行要求对医疗保健的管理和提供方式进行重新构想，以期在提高医疗保健系统的能力、可及性和公平性的同时，注重以人为本的护理和促进人口健康。这些目标可以通过医疗保健一体化来实现。2019 年，由加拿大安大略省四家四级护理医院组成的联合体--大学健康网络（UHN）制定了第一阶段试点计划，在机构层面以及与安大略省医疗系统中的其他一级、二级和三级机构纵向加强医疗整合。该计划在 COVID-19 大流行期间加速实施，并展示了医疗保健整合如何改善以人为本的护理和人口健康；因此成为 COVID-19 大流行恢复期及以后医疗保健系统应对措施的基础。
