Academic paper: Case studies on integrating health and community-based services for older adults
This academic research paper examines how service delivery organizations have been able to successfully engage in integrated working to meet the needs of older adults in their communities. Integrated care initiatives usually incorporate a combination of funding, clinical, administrative, organizational and/or service delivery strategies in order to “create connectivity, alignment and collaboration within and between the cure and care sectors.” (Kodner & Spreeuwenberg, 2002, p.3)
This paper presents four case studies of integrated care initiatives for older adults (though not all exclusively served older adults). The cases that were selected integrated both health and community-based services and adopted comprehensive approaches that reflected the social determinants of health model.
