Partnering to integrate services and systems
Integrated care involves providing seamless, effective and efficient care that reflects a person’s health and social care needs. It requires a greater focus on communication and connectivity between healthcare providers, and better access to health services closer to home such as general practice, Aboriginal Community Controlled Health Organisations (ACCHOs) or community-based services.
Collaboration is the key to providing exceptional healthcare, as no single provider can deliver truly integrated care.
