INTEGRATING GOVERNMENT, COMMUNITY, AND HEALTH CARE SYSTEMS
Discuss how health care leaders can systemically integrate government, community, and
health care systems into a network of health care.
Healthcare leaders should ensure the provision of comprehensive services throughout the
care continuum. Healthcare delivery systems should also be focused on the patient and aim to
meet patient needs. Health systems should offer geographic coverage to ensure that patient
access to their healthcare services is maximized. Healthcare leaders should use interprofessional
teams to ensure the delivery of standardized care as it will encourage the continuation of the care
process. The successful implementation of integrated health systems depends on properly-
developed systems of performance monitoring, which comprise outcome indicators that assess
results at various levels. They should also ensure that they use updated computerized information
systems that enable data management and proper tracking of outcomes and utilization. Leaders
should also have vision and a supportive organizational culture to sustain the realization of the
vision. Physicians should also be integrated across all system levels and take up leadership roles
in designing, implementing and operating the integrated health system (Oelke et al., 2015).
What does current literature say to support your thoughts?
Scholars cite the above mentioned principles as the main areas of restructuring. They also
highlight the necessity of organizational flexibility and adaptation to the local setting (Suter et
al., 2009). These principles are recommended for healthcare leaders to help orient and guide
integration efforts, nevertheless, a lot needs to be understood particular mechanisms and
structures to guarantee success.
