Is the integration of health and social care meeting the growing demand?
Integration of health and social care has been suggested as a solution to overcome the increasing financial and service pressures on the UK healthcare system. This commentary aimed to critically appraise a systematic review that investigated the national and international evidence base for the impact of integrating care, both on perceived and actual service delivery outcomes. The authors also aimed to identify the review's implications for practice, policy and future research.
