Integrating Health and Social Care for Community-Dwelling Older Adults: A Description of 16 Canadian Programs.
Healthcare Policy 2023 October
This paper describes 16 Canadian programs designed to provide integrated primary care for older adults. Publicly available data were used to identify the "what" and the "how" of integration for each program. Most programs integrated with other healthcare or medical services (vs. social services). Mechanisms of integration varied; the most common mechanism was interprofessional teams. Only 25% of the programs formally engaged with autonomous physician-led primary care practices (where most Canadians receive their primary care). Findings suggest that integrated care is a priority across Canada but also highlight how far we have to go to achieve both vertical integration within the healthcare sector (primary, secondary and tertiary services) and horizontal integration across sectors (health and social).
