Joining Up Care Where We Live

In April 2015 the charity Access Dorset published a video titled “Joining Up Care Where We Live”, in which citizens and patients are interviewed about their experiences with care coordination. Some respondents felt that care coordination still needs to improve. For example, according to a member of the Lypoedema and Lymphoedema Support Group, "the hospitals don't talk to the GPs" . According to a passer-by interviewed on the street, the “most unnerving thing” for a patient going to the hospital is to be asked: “So why are you here?”. On the other hand, one respondent who has a heart defect recalled a good example of care coordination. After an echocardiogram, the hospital informed her GP about the results and the GP called her to explain that her medication needed to be adjusted. With her consent, the GP immediately sent the prescription to the chemist. The video also focuses on two ...

Voices on person-centred care

What is person-centred care to a patient, a physician, a nurse, a hospital head of department, an industry representative and a researcher? How do these people, who all have experience of receiving or working with person-centred care, see person-centred care from their perspectives? Short film clips from the University of Gothenburg Centre for Person-centred Care - GPCC. GPCC is an in terdisciplinary research centre, established in January 2010, with the support of the Swedish government's strategic investment in health and care research. Uniquely GPCC has evaluated the effects of person-centred care in controlled studies. This has established that person-centred care is capable of enhancing the efficiency of the care process. Apart from considerable monetary savings resulting from amongst other things shorter hospital stays, significant positive effects from a patient perspective have been seen, as care is adapted to each individual person and his or her resources are made use of.

Establishing a Gerontology Coordination Centre to improve care for the elderly in Monaco

The Ministry of Health and Social Affairs opened the Gerontology Coordination Centre as a dedicated resource to support and provide services to elderly people aged 60 years and over; Monaco's small geographic and population size lent itself to a centralized approach. The initiative created a hub for the coordination of multiple aspects of health and social care for the elderly; services offered by the Centre are holistic, integrated, tailored to individual needs and place strong emphasis on supporting patients’ independence. Comprehensive geriatric assessments evaluating physical, mental and social needs are now available to all people aged 60 years and over; data collection performed by the Centre provides information on emerging needs within the elderly population, enabling data-driven policy responses.

Integrated care is a model recognised internationally, however, there is limited evidence about its usability in the community. This study aimed to elicit community and provider views about integrated care and how implementation could meet their healthcare needs in a new hospital.
