Integrated Care Systems (ICSs)

Integrated Care Systems (ICSs) are collaborative partnerships within the healthcare sector that bring together organizations like hospitals, clinics, social services, and community groups. Their goal is to coordinate and deliver healthcare services more effectively and seamlessly, ensuring patients receive the right care at the right time, often closer to home. ICSs focus on prevention, early intervention, and holistic wellbeing by aligning resources and planning across different providers. This approach aims to improve health outcomes, reduce unnecessary hospital visits, and make healthcare systems more efficient and patient-centered.
