This chapter emphasizes that integrated care is a means to an end, not an end in itself. It serves merely as a strategy aimed at providing better services for patients and populations. The aim of integrated care is to improve quality, not to reduce costs. As illustrated throughout this book, an integrated care strategy may be implemented on different levels, but in order to be sustainable and effective, it must permeate all tiers of the healthcare value chain—from the system level to the individual level.

摘要

This chapter emphasizes that integrated care is a means to an end, not an end in itself. It serves merely as a strategy aimed at providing better services for patients and populations. The aim of integrated care is to improve quality, not to reduce costs. As illustrated throughout this book, an integrated care strategy may be implemented on different levels, but in order to be sustainable and effective, it must permeate all tiers of the healthcare value chain—from the system level to the individual level.
