Highlights
In March 2014, the New South Wales (NSW) Government (Australia) announced the NSW Integrated Care Strategy
Since integrated care initiatives are an example of complex interventions in health and social care, we underpinned this programme of development, research and evaluation by the critical realist metatheory of science and the NSW Health Monitoring and Evaluation Framework, using the UK Medical Research Council (MRC) Framework for evaluating complex interventions
We adapted the iterative approach of development, feasibility/piloting, evaluation and implementation of the MRC framework to include critical realist, participatory, continuous and theory driven elements. Both the 2008 UK Medical Research Council framework for evaluating complex interventions, and our previously reported critical realist methodology, provided the tools to enable an iterative approach to development, design, testing and continuous evaluation
Summary
In March 2014, the New South Wales (NSW) Government (Australia) announced the NSW Integrated Care Strategy. The NSW Government’s Integrated Care Strategy funding enabled the establishment of an integrated care initiative called Healthy Homes and Neighbourhoods (HHAN). The Initiative was designed as a population-based, family-centered, care-coordination network that functioned across agencies to assist vulnerable families to navigate the health and social-care system, to keep themselves and their children safe, and in doing so, promote social cohesiveness.
