Summary
The integration of people-centred services is key to improving the performance of health systems. This chapter explores the rationale and definitions of integrated and people-centred services, considers frameworks to inform and drive integrated care, and describes common barriers as well as enabling strategies related to values and policy, the engagement of key stakeholders and operational considerations. It highlights the unique role of family practice (also called family medicine) as a community-based and community-oriented discipline, and as a driver of comprehensive integrated people-centred care. It concludes with a description of the key strategies used in the re-organization of primary care services into a family health model by United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees (UNRWA) in the Near East in 2011.
