What are the benefits of Integrated Care Systems?

Person-centred coordinated care 

People benefit from care that is person-centred and coordinated. Person-centred coordinated care achieves better outcomes for people and improves efficiency for health and social care services.  

In order to improve person-centred coordinated care, the delivery of integrated care is essential. For care to be integrated, health and care organisations and professionals must work together to meet the needs of individuals, which is where Integrated Care Systems (ICSs) come in. 

Central to the NHS Long Term Plan and Health and Care Act, the 42 integrated care systems, the future of health and care integration, was created with the purpose of bringing together partner organisations to plan and deliver joined-up health and care services.

Understanding integrated care systems is essential to a connected care future.
