Evidence was rated as either inconsistent or limited regarding all other outcomes reported, including system-wide impacts on primary care, secondary care, and health care costs. Spending differences associated with the Medicare physician group practice demonstration. We included studies of both comparator and non-comparator design from the UK (as these data were considered to privilege relevance), whereas we prioritised international systematic reviews and international primary studies with comparative design (thereby privileging rigour). We examined the data regarding outcomes and impacts for studies in the two largest sub-groups of patients - older adults, and populations described as having complex needs. National Audit Office. BMC Health Serv Res. Blinding of participants and personnel was also limited or not possible, with only four studies achieving this [30, 31, 49, 72]. Prim Health Care Res Develop. 2012;29:20812. Another disadvantage with integration is variables get missed and vital information is left out. Quality assessment was based on the hierarchy of study design, together with use of a variety of checklists for each study type. Wedel R, Kalischuk RG, Patterson E, Brown S.

The rating scale was as follows: stronger evidence represented generally consistent findings in multiple studies with a comparator group design, or three or more systematic reviews; weaker evidence represented generally consistent findings in one study with a comparator group design and several non-comparator studies, or two systematic reviews, or multiple non-comparator studies; very limited evidence represented an outcome reported by a single study; and finally, inconsistent evidence represented an outcome where fewer than 75% of studies agreed on the direction of effect.

Changes in hospital admissions and inpatient tariff associated with a diabetes integrated care initiative: preliminary findings. Four of six international comparator studies similarly reported increased satisfaction amongst older, acute and paediatric patient populations following service integration, case management and patient-centred medical home interventions [119, 136, 150, 159]. List of Disadvantages of Vertical Integration. Have better spatial awareness. However, recent years have witnessed substantial growth in the range of review methods available, with recognition that different review types are appropriate for answering differing questions and purposes [9, 10]. We defined models of integrated care as changes to health or both health and health-related service delivery which aim to increase integration and/or coordination. Palliat Med.

The UK before and after/longitudinal studies demonstrated similar issues regarding blinding, with only one study clearly reporting that outcome assessors were blinded [66].

Doubts regarding the ability of new models to deliver expected benefits have also recently been voiced, with a report from the National Audit Office concluding that progress towards integration has been slower and less successful than envisaged [6].

One particular limitation relates to the lack of statistical summary of effectiveness (meta-analysis) although we would argue that not only did the heterogeneity of interventions and outcomes preclude this type of analysis, but also, in exploring the complexity of the area a strength of evidence approach was beneficial.
