Are integrated care models associated with improved drug safety in Swiss primary care? an observational analysis using healthcare claims data
ICMs were significantly associated with higher drug safety compared to SCM for most outcomes. Findings suggest that patients may benefit most from ICMs with a high degree of coordination or gatekeeping. ICM may represent an effective approach to improve patients' drug safety and, thus, to reduce the risk of adverse events.
