Q-Code conceptual content
Clinical Integration: the extent to which patient care is coordinated across the system’s different functions, activities and operating units. The degree of coordination of care depends primarily on the patient’s condition and the decisions made by his or her health team. (WHO Gloss 2016)
Cooperative Behavior ;The interaction of two or more persons or organizations directed toward a common goal which is mutually beneficial. An act or instance of working or acting together for a common purpose or benefit, i.e., joint action. (From Random House Dictionary Unabridged, 2d ed)(MeSH)
Delivery of Health Care, Integrated ; A health care system which combines physicians, hospitals, and other medical services with a health plan to provide the complete spectrum of medical care for its customers. In a fully integrated system, the three key elements - physicians, hospital, and health plan membership - are in balance in terms of matching medical resources with the needs of purchasers and patients. (Coddington et al., Integrated Health Care: Reorganizing the Physician, Hospital and Health Plan Relationship, 1994, p7)(MeSH)
INTEGRATED HEALTH CARE (COORDINATED CARE) ; involves strengthening administrative arrangements between organizations in joint cooperation. Refers to the components in the health care system, that work together to create a continuum of health care to a defined population. It includes health promotion and curative and preventive interventions and also refers to the extent to which activities are coordinated across units to maximize the value of service delivery to patients.(Woncadic)
integrated health services: “The management and delivery of health services so that clients receive a continuum of preventive and curative services according to their needs over time and across different levels of the health system.(WHO)
Interdisciplinary Communication ; Communication, in the sense of cross-fertilization of ideas, involving two or more academic disciplines (such as the disciplines that comprise the cross-disciplinary field of bioethics, including the health and biological sciences, the humanities, and the social sciences and law). Also includes problems in communication stemming from differences in patterns of language usage in different academic or medical disciplines. (MeSH)
Multidisciplinary team : Practitioners from various health disciplines collaborate in providing ongoing health care (APHC2004)
SHARED CARE ; where more than one health professional takes part in the care of a patient e.g. in shared health care psychiatrists, general practitioners, and mental health nurses may all contribute to ongoing care. In some cases shared care involves the sequential transfer of care from one provider to another and back e.g. obstetric management may be initiated by a GP, handed over to an obstetrician for delivery, and then the mother and baby return to the GP's/FP's care in the postnatal period.(Woncadic)
System integration: The extent to which the health care unit organization has established and maintains linkages with other parts of the health care and social service system to facilitate transfer of care and coordinate concurrent care between different health care organizations(Haggerty et all 2007)
