Abstract
Introduction: Integrated care is crucial in delivering coherent and coordinated support to families with multiple and complex problems. Reorienting care organisations towards integrated care is a complex organisational change process. It requires both structural and behavioural adjustments. To learn about effective practice, it is useful to study implementation between contexts.
Description: This mixed methods case study provides a comparison over time of five regional teams simultaneously implementing an integrated care delivery mode. Group interviews identified whether and how different elements in the change approach helped or hindered the change progress.
Discussion: We describe and discuss how the teams were guided and supported in learning to make the behavioural switches associated with their new integrated mode of operation.
Conclusion: Our support-interventions appeared to be largely successful in fostering four pre-defined integrated care behaviours. This research took place during the Covid-19 pandemic, which was challenging but also brought unexpected benefits.
期刊介绍:
Established in 2000, IJIC’s mission is to promote integrated care as a scientific discipline. IJIC’s primary purpose is to examine critically the policy and practice of integrated care and whether and how this has impacted on quality-of-care, user experiences, and cost-effectiveness.
The journal regularly publishes conference supplements and special themed editions. To find out more contact Managing Editor, Susan Royer.
The Journal is supported by the International Foundation for Integrated Care (IFIC).
