Integration and continuity of primary care: polyclinics and alternatives – a patient-centred analysis of how organisation constrains care co-ordination

Abstract

The report looks at, amongst other things, Swedish health system to find out how that goes about integrating and co-ordinating care for patients with complex care needs. This suggests that combining general practice and community health services into one organisation is likely to co-ordinate care better than the current separation between general practice and other health services.
