Integrated Community Care: A Community-Driven, Integrated Approach to Care
摘要
ICC is a resilience-oriented approach that seeks to strengthen communities by tackling the determinants of health. It assumes accountability toward a territorially defined population, creating new cross-sectoral and interdisciplinary partnerships and taking a population health approach with a focus on prevention. In ICC, a new power dynamic and relationship is forged: people and communities co-design and co-produce health and care, the role of government is that of an equalizer (ensuring resources are allocated to those most in need) and investor in public services, and the traditional boundaries between informal and formal care are blurred.
