Eurodiaconia has just published the paper Recommendations on Integrated Care. This paper outlines the importance of integrated care, barriers to integrated care, elements of integrated care and what needs to be done to support and develop integrated care. The content was drawn from discussions among Eurodiaconia members at Eurodiaconia’s Healthy Ageing and Long-Term Care Network meetings, research by the secretariat and input from the 2014 conference co-organised with AGE Platform Europe and EuroHealthNet hosted by the Committee of the Regions entitled “Supporting quality integrated care: Policy and practice at local, regional and national levels”.
