Summary

Introduction

Accountability in Dutch healthcare service delivery can be seen from four perspectives: (1) private, (2) public, (3) professional and (4) societal perspective. Accountability in general is seen as an important part of governance, in literature there is debate about its definition and more synonyms are used. Accountability processes are often assessed from a single organization perspective. Since the emerging partnerships and networks in integrated health service delivery, almost always multiple organizations and professionals or teams are involved. New organizational models ask for review and innovation of traditional accountability processes as an ingredient of integrated care governance. Two questions raise: (1) Is the current approach in accountability still maintainable and (2): How can accountability be further developed to suit integrated care governance? To answer these questions a deeper understanding of integrated care accountability and the state of play in the Netherlands is presented Two questions raise: (1) Is the current approach in accountability still maintainable and (2): How can accountability be further developed to suit integrated care governance?
