Implementing a continuum of care model for older people-results from a Swedish case study.

Dunér, Anna ; Blomberg, Staffan LU and Hasson, Henna LU (2011) In International Journal of Integrated Care 11.
Abstract
There is a need for integrated care and smooth collaboration between care-providing organisations and professions to create a continuum of care for frail older people. However, collaboration between organisations and professions is often problematic. The aim of this study was to examine the process of implementing a new continuum of care model in a complex organisational context, and illuminate some of the challenges involved. The introduced model strived to connect three organisations responsible for delivering health and social care to older people: the regional hospital, primary health care and municipal eldercare.
