Integrated Care Systems (ICS)

Integrated Care Systems (ICS) are collaborative organizations in the healthcare system that bring together hospitals, clinics, social services, and community organizations to work as a coordinated team. Their goal is to provide seamless, patient-centered care, ensuring individuals receive the right support at the right time, regardless of which service they access. ICS aim to improve health outcomes, streamline services, and make better use of resources by promoting communication and cooperation among various providers. This integrated approach helps prevent unnecessary hospital visits, reduces delays, and supports people in staying healthier within their communities.
