Abstract
Socially deprived areas are characterized by poorer health status and health outcomes and higher mortality compared to more affluent areas. Additionally, there is “misplaced demand” of patients seeking medical care for social problems. This can lead to increased inadequate use of health care services, resulting in increased healthcare cost. One approach to addressing these problems is to create an integrated range of care services. A much-discussed approach to solving these problems are care models that create a cross-sectoral and integrated range of services.
