Abstract
Integrated care is becoming increasingly relevant globally due to the focus not only on the patient's treatment but also on their overall health and quality of life. They aim to create new organizational structures that establish coherence and relationships between different divisions of the health and social sectors, with a view to improving the efficiency and quality of care, quality of life and satisfaction of patients with chronic diseases. By implementing collaboration, coordination and integration between the different levels of the health and social sector systems, integrated care promotes access and exchange of patient information between teams, during the different stages of a patient's treatment. Achieving greater cost-effectiveness, optimizing quality in integrated care, reducing social exclusion and the adverse consequences of untimely, inadequate or excessive treatment are in the interest of all actors: service providers, payers, and consumers.
