Why Integrated Care?

2

• When health and social care professionals work together, we can ensure that care is integrated and that people live healthy, fulfilling lives

• Services will work with patients and families/carers to help you manage your health

• The team will help you to develop a personal care plan which will record what your specific needs are

• The care plan will be shared by everyone who is involved in the management of your health, so hopefully improving communication and reducing frustrations of the patient journey, particularly at the interface between health and social care

• Information systems are not joined up at present

• But nearly all the GPs in Islington use the same system

• Above all, we need to have your verbal and written consent

• Having a shared information system for care planning will ensure better care delivery co-ordinated through primary care

• Case conferencing for a small number of high risk complex patients with all health care professionals including acute specialist
