Integrated care in the Baltic countries over a five-year period: an expert-informed cross-country analysis of progress, challenges and future directions
Integrating care across providers and the social and health sectors is an incremental process that needs long-term political support to address persistent barriers. The Baltic countries' experiences indicate challenges in bringing together stakeholders in areas such as data interoperability, new financing models and reorganization of workforce and skills mixing. Further work should advance evidence on patient-centred solutions for evolving needs.
