of
Integrated Care
from
Digital Social Care (digitalsocialcare.org.uk)
There is no single definition of integrated care and services can be joined up and coordinated in different ways, for example, across hospital and community-based care, physical and mental health care, and social care. However, a person-centred or even a person led emphasis, see About Me, can help break down traditional barriers to integrated care. Digital initiatives can support this by facilitating better communication for all those involved, including the individual and, where applicable, their carer(s).
