Abstract
At some time in their lives, most people will require health care services from multiple health care providers, whether it is for short-term unexpected ill-health, long-term chronic conditions, or co-morbidities that cross disciplines. Integration of health services is particularly important for people with chronic or complex conditions as they must negotiate a path that crosses various health care sectors.
In 2011 PHCRIS undertook an abbreviated appraisal of evidence (Rapid Response) to address the following:
- What types of initiatives have been implemented in Australia (or elsewhere) to integrate primary and acute health care?
- How have these initiatives impacted on patients’ health outcomes and patients’ experience of their pathway through the health system?
