Comparative case studies in integrated care implementation from across the globe : a quest for action

Abstract

The case studies represent integrated care implementation efforts from five countries and continents (United States, United Kingdom, Vietnam, Israel, and Nigeria), targeting a range of clinical populations and care settings. The study addresses two research objectives: 1) To highlight current integrated care implementation efforts that target a range of healthcare systems, patient populations and implementation strategies and outcomes, and 2) To synthesize the shared and unique challenges and successes across studies using the Exploration, Preparation, Implementation, Sustainment (EPIS) framework. Funding is a vital condition for successful transformation of healthcare delivery.
