Patients at the Centre: Integrating Primary and Community Care
Publication of report from the House of Lords Select Committee on the Integration of Primary and Community Care.
The acute care pathway is under unprecedented strain, and hospital bed occupancy has reached dangerous levels. The Royal College of Physicians advocates better integration of hospital, ambulance, social and community care. Decisions to escalate care to acute settings are often part of a default approach to mitigate risk, but this problem can be better managed, as evidenced by the acute ambulatory care units developed by Prof Lasserson. Our aim is to use mixed-methods research to study how interfaces along the acute care pathway function in order to create a resilient acute care system.
