Understanding Integration guide from Picker and the King’s Fund
Integrated care aims to improve people’s outcomes and experiences of care by bringing services together around people and communities. This means addressing the fragmentation of services and lack of co-ordination people often experience by providing person-centred, joined-up care.
Picker and The King’s Fund, along with patient leaders, Integrated Care Systems (ICSs), and experience experts, have produced a practical guide on behalf of NHS England for partners to understand how ICSs can listen to and learn from people and communities.
