Abstract

Older people are more than the sum of their conditions, and their complex needs frequently consist of health and social needs, as well as the need for both physical and mental health care. We believe that integrated care for older people should address more than their health conditions, that they rely a lot on social and leisure resources, services providers, commerce, home and public environment, and that networking and communication between the several stakeholders are crucial to deliver a coherent intervention. This leads us to reason that the ultimate form of integrated care is the concept of integrated governance.
