摘要：Background : Integrated Care in Australia has mostly been implemented as micro-level initiatives rather than systemically, which has challenged its sustainability [1]. South Eastern Sydney Local Health District (SESLHD) and the Central and Eastern Sydney Primary Health Network (CESPHN) have sought to scale the benefits of existing micro-level strategies, such as inter-disciplinary coordination, coordination, and person-centred care, in order to increase population-level impacts and enhance sustainability. The focus of their joint Integrated Care Strategy has shifted towards implementation of meso- and macro-level integrated care programs [2]. This paper presents an overview of the evolution, implementation and evaluation of this novel program. About the IC Program : The centrepiece of the revamped Strategy is three interlinked programs, based on Bodenheimer’s 10 building blocks [3]: 1) General Practice 2020:a quality improvement activity in general practice involving practice teams. 2) Care Coordination: a model of service involving Clinical Nurse Consultants and a social worker. 3) Talking Wellbeing:a co-produced salutogenic initiative based in general practice. Th objectives of these programs are to: Strengthen partnerships and integration. Support general practice to transition towards a person-centred medical neighbourhood (PCMN) model. Establish a sustainable, localised care coordination model. Build connections and experiences that enhance individual and collective wellbeing. The PCMN model is an Australian federal government initiative, similar to the health care home concept [4]. Desired outcomes of the PCMN are aligned with the quadruple aim [5]. Evaluation : The three programs will be evaluated at: (i) consumer, (ii) provider, and (iii) service levels. The overall analytic approach is informed by Normalisation Process Theory [6], with emphasis on the impact, acceptability, feasibility, sustainability, and scalability of the Strategy. Data will be collected at 6, 12 and 18 months points following implementation. Implications for Integrated Care : Lessons learnt from the evolution and and implementation of the three programs that make up the Strategy will have relevant to integrated care in other settings.
