April 10, 2023Introduction
European health and social care systems: PRESSURES
• To contain healthcare expenditure
• To further improve the health status of the population in terms of increasing
life expectancy and quality of life
At EC level, policy-making translated into the EIP target to increase the
average healthy lifespan of European citizens by two years by 2020
Strong focus on chronic diseases

Introduction
Integrated care from a clinical perspective (or clinical integration), as defined by Suter et al
(2007), involves organising functions and activities around patient care and services. The
focus is on continuity and coordination of care, disease management, good
communication among caregivers, smooth transfer of information, and the
elimination of duplicate testing and procedures.
Integrated care requires a central system of patient records, service delivery and best
practice protocols to deliver care successfully as an integrated system.

Demand approach
1. Analysis of EU 27 Member States through secondary data collection and desk
research
• Socio-demographic statistics & Prevalence statistics
• Healthcare organisation, costs, financing, incentives and DMP & Social care
organisation
• ICT context – investment, applications, penetration, data exchange
2. Selection of the countries for field work based on the HC system market
mechanisms and eHealth readiness
3. Regional approach in 8 selected countries
• Analysis of ICT for Health deployment and case studies for TC and TH for 3
main chronic conditions
• Primary data collection in field work – interviews with:• Policy-makers/government officers incl. HTA agencies
• Healthcare managers – project/unit/HC centres & Health and social care
professionals
• Technology providers
• Patients

April 10, 2023Findings
Key facilitators towards Integrated Care:
1. Reorganization of services – organisational change
2. Governance and funding mechanisms
3. Incentives and financing
4. Technology in place
5. Professionals as drivers
6. Patients as drivers
11
April 10, 2023Findings
Organisational change needed in order to provide integrated care
Cooperation between tiers of care involving the creation of new roles
Example in Scotland
• Call handlers IPHS and co-located with NHS24 Social care services Ambulance services
• Accidents & Emergencies
• Community (primary care and matrons) Elderly care wards closing down
• Hospital – hospital discharge teams
Organisational change as key facilitatorOrganisational change as key facilitator
1. Reorganization of services – organisational change
12
April 10, 2023Findings
2. Governance and funding mechanisms
Governance• There are policies promoting coordination between health and social care – UK,
Italy and Spain National versus regional implementation
• Policies promoting interoperability – DALLAS example• Need for legal framework / Liability – i.e.: Denmark• In Germany, although many cases exist, government intervention is needed to
deploy IC
Funding
• Needed for up-front costs, testing and crucial for long-term sustainability to avoid projects dying out
UK, Germany, Netherlands, France – national funding sources Denmark, Italy, Spain both EC and own sources Estonia – little funding at national level
Policy push & adequate funds as key facilitatorsPolicy push & adequate funds as key facilitators
13
April 10, 2023Findings
• Differences in financing schemes among tiers as a main barrier:
• Payment and incentives to service providers
• Payment to Primary care: FeeForService (DE), eCare payment (DK),
capitation, Pay-for- Performance / P4P (UK, Andalusia),
• Payment to Hospital care: DRG in Italy (Lombardy) and Denmark
• BUT hospital staff-nurses-social care?
• Incentives alignment across tiers of care as a facilitator
• Andalusia – common indicators between primary and secondary care
negotiated at District level
Adequate incentives as key facilitatorAdequate incentives as key facilitator
3. Incentives and financing
14
April 10, 2023Findings
• Interoperability in place as a driver and as an innovation process
• Involvement of Industry, e.g. France
• Policy towards nationwide EHR as a driver, e.g. Denmark High eHealth deployment
• However, the technology is not enough, e.g Estonia: 1st class nationwide EHR in place, but no IPHS uptake
Technology in place as key facilitatorTechnology in place as key facilitator
4. Technology in place
15
April 10, 2023Findings
• Role of champions, also related to evidence consolidation
• Services mainly run by nurses or social carers but little direct
involvement from physicians (hospital and primary care)
• Need for cooperation between different tiers of care Interoperability Care pathways re-design Patient ownership issues
• Barriers to overcome:
Data overload, data granularity, data structure and interoperability Liability issues Threat to the doctor-patient relationship Lack of incentives
Professional resistance as a main barrierRole of champions as a key facilitator
Professional resistance as a main barrierRole of champions as a key facilitator
5. Professionals as drivers
16
April 10, 2023Findings
• Integrated care around the patient - empowerment Organising functions and activities around patient care and services Patients willingness to stay within the community
• Learning to self-manage their condition Technology rotation is emerging as an option
• “Paternalism” of the system reliance on patient or on the service
(i.e.: SMS reminders)
• Influenced by their family/carers and GPs
• Barriers to overcome: Intrusiveness Fears of lack of care
Patients readiness and wiliness as key facilitatorsPatients readiness and wiliness as key facilitators
6. Patients as drivers

Conclusions
Technology is not the issue, the issue is about re-organisation
of care (10% / 90%). However, for this, interoperability is key. More likely to deploy IPHS in countries where policy towards
integrated care, incentive frameworks and funding
mechanisms are in place. Forget about getting new evidence (e.g. more RCTs). Look at demand (users and patients) and raise awareness.

Next Steps
“Amongst the 31 initiatives studied it is clear that there is a need to define a
common monitoring and assessment framework. Such a framework could
combine different indicators to enable decision makers to assess both the
state of maturity and the readiness for scaling up. It would represent a basis
for knowledge and evidence as well as enable better international
comparisons of performance”.
SIMPHS3 aims at developing a common Reference Framework for evaluation of EIP AHA actions.
