The Challenge
Ageing Society = Greater Complexity of Care
By 2034, >85s will represent c.5% of the population in Western Europe.
Care Systems in Europe are Failing to
Cope with Complexity
The complexity in the way care
systems are designed leads to:
• lack of ‘ownership’ of the
person’s problem;
• lack of involvement of users
and carers in their own care;
• poor communication between
partners in care;
• simultaneous duplication of
tasks and gaps in care;
• treating one condition without
recognising others;
• poor outcomes to person, carer
and the system
Frontier Economics (2012) Enablers and barriers to integrated care and implications for Monitor -
The Challenge: Summary
• Age-related chronic conditions absorb the largest, and
growing, share of health/social care activities
• Poor co-ordination of care for people with longterm/complex illnesses leads to poor care experiences
and adverse outcomes
• Practical solutions to tackle the socio-determinants of illhealth and pathology of the complex patient
• Strategies of care co-ordination to create more
integrated, cost effective and patient-centred services
are growing internationally
• Lack of knowledge about how best to apply care coordination in practice.
The European Response
• There are many different
examples of policies and
innovation on integrated care
around Europe
• The political agendas, however
focus on:
– Financial reform
– Cost containment
– Legislative change
– Structural reorganizations
– Personalised care
– Pilot programmes
• Not enough on change
management and the ‘how to’
of integrated care
National Strategies - Examples
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
Denmark & Norway: Coordination Reform
Sweden: Joint agencies link funding and
delivery (e.g. Jönköping & Nortallje)
England: The National Collaborative for
Integrated Care and Support (Pioneers)
Germany: Versorgungsstrukturgesetz (care
structure law) supports interdisciplinary
and cross-sector models of care
Netherlands: Managed care organizations
and bundled payments for certain
diseases
Health and social care integration in
Northern Ireland, Scotland and Wales
Spain: vertically and horizontally
integrated care organizations to support
better chronic care ( e.g. Basque Country,
Catalonia, Valencia)
Switzerland: physician networks / HMOs
Example 1:
The Basque System, Spain
Care transformation in the midst of a deep economic crisis
• Developing a favourable
policy environment
• Stimulating systems
thinking with new models
of care
• Aligning ‘bottom-up’ and
‘top-down’ integration
• Providing a distributed
leadership approach
Bengoa, 2013 - http://www.ijic.org/index.php/ijic/article/view/URN%3ANBN%3ANL%3AUI%3A10-1-114747/2042
Example 2:
Maccabi, Israel
• Physician group partnership providing coordinated care to 1.9m people (25%
population)
• Integrated ICT systems promote
communication , continuity of care and
supported self-care through ‘patient
portal’ and telehealthcare
• System focus on managing chronic
disease and the elderly
• Investment in leadership and interprofessional working
• Investment in research
• Positive impact on care experiences,
clinical outcomes and cost containment

Example 3:
National Collaborative for Integrated Care, England
• The ‘Narrative’
• Change to NHS Mandate
• Development of shared care outcomes
between government departments, and
quality regulator includes new targets
• Integration encouraged alongside
competition by economic regulator
• Financial reforms supports range of new
incentives to providers
• Commissioning reforms supports new
opportunities to pool budgets
• New resources to support change – and
the Integration Transformation Fund
(£3.8bn)
• Pioneers Programme

The Integrated Care Response in US and Canada
USA
Canada
• Integrated delivery systems for
enrolees
• Health Canada – Health Accord,
2004
– E.g. Kaiser Permanente
– E.g. Veterans Health
• HMOs & group practice models
– E.g. Mayo, Geisinger, Seattle
• Managed care or disease
management programmes
– E.g. PACE
• Integrated delivery systems for
populations:
– E.g. Nuka, Alaska
– E.g. Massachusetts
– Sets 10 plans to overcome
duplications, improve access and
promote efficiency
– Emphasis on care transitions
hospital-home to reduce ‘bed
blockers’
• Provincial application leads to
decentralisation and variation
– PRISMA, Quebec
– GP group practices, Alberta
– Community-oriented primary care
centres, Newfoundland and others
Example 4:
PACE Programme, USA
• Fully integrated system providing
acute and long-term care services
to older people (>55)
• Grew out of On Lok, an innovative
senior centre that developed a
day hospital approach to care to
frail older people
• Based around an adult care
centre that offers:
–
–
–
–
social and respite services
primary medical care
geriatric outpatients
ongoing care and case
management
• Designed to maintain frail older
people in the community for as
long as possible, so avoiding
institutionalisation
• Voluntary enrolment, available to
those aged >55 eligible for
nursing home admissions and
covered by both Medicare and
Medicaid
• Important role of informal carers
and supportive housing often
part of care package
Example 4:
PACE Programme, USA
• Between 1987-1997 PACE
operated as a federal
demonstration programme
• Since 1997, PACE a permanent
provider under Medicare and a
state option under Medicaid
• By January 2005 36 fully
operational programmes across
18 states
• A typical participant:
– A woman who is 80 years old with
multiple (9.7) medical conditions
with limited activities for daily
living. 49% have a diagnosis of
dementia
How PACE achieves integrated care:
• Pooled financing (Medicare &
Medicaid) and authority to
control how capitated funding is
spent
• Integrated services by range of
staff employed at adult care
centre – outside contracts for
medical services, acute
hospitalisations & nursing home
care
• Case management by
multidisciplinary teams including
comprehensive assessments,
service provision and care coordination
• Prevention and rehabilitation
focus
Example 4:
PACE Programme, USA
Evaluations of PACE conclude:
• Large decreases in hospital use
(admissions and lengths of stay)
for enrolled patients
• Increased use of outpatient
medical care and therapies, and
care in home environment
• Positive impact on Medicare costs
in comparison to non-enrolee
groups
• Client health status and
satisfaction with care
arrangements good
• Results in terms of physical
functioning inconsistent
Conclusions:
• PACE successful in managing frail
older patients and in offsetting
costs against more expensive
outpatient care
• Capital and start up costs were
substantial, so PACE needed
pump-priming from federal and
state governments in initial
phases
• Some patients not comfortable
with adult day health care
settings and/or giving up contact
with a personal physician
• Centres run at a small scale (c.300
enrolees) so issues of economies
of scale if more widely adopted
Example 5:
PRISMA Programme, Quebec, Canada
• Unlike PACE, PRISMA is a coordinated model of care
• The goal is to integrate service
delivery to older people to
improve functional autonomy
• Admission is to persons >65 who
have moderate to severe
disabilities, but show good
potential for staying at home –
they need two or more health
and social care services from the
area in which they live
How PRISMA achieves integrated
care:
• Inter- and intra-organisational coordination by joint governing
board and a service co-ordination
committee
• A single point of entry to care
services
• Case management who work with
clients’ family physician and other
providers
• Common assessment process and
care plan
• Joint budget
• Integrated information system to
track patients and support
continuity of care
The PRISMA Model
PRISMA (Canada)
Evaluations of PRISMA conclude:
•
•
•
•
Declining trend in institutionalisation
Lower client preference to be institutionalised
Greater functional autonomy of clients
No reduced or significantly changed pattern in the use of
health and social care services
• Positive impact on carer burden
• No impact on mortality (survival)
• No reduction in costs
Improved system outcomes at no additional cost

Conclusions:
Strategies and Progress
• Integrated care is a global buzzword and strategy for system reform
• Integrated care takes on multiple forms, and the purpose to which
it has been adopted varies
• Cost-containment / creating sustainable care systems is a central
driver, yet evidence suggests that integrated care is primarily a tool
for quality improvement
• Evidence remains varied and limited, especially on costs
• However, there is enough to suggest what the important
components of integrated care must be, and that the approach can
support the ‘Triple Aim’ goals of care systems
• Yet, the failure rate amongst integrated care initiatives is high –
more is needed in understanding how to develop, sustain and
spread initiatives successfully and for the long-term
• There are few alternative options …
