Integrated Care Models in PHC

Integrated care models in primary health care (PHC) aim to enhance coordination and continuity of care by integrating various healthcare services within a unified framework. These models prioritize patient-centered approaches that streamline communication among healthcare providers, promote interdisciplinary collaboration, and improve healthcare outcomes. By fostering partnerships between primary care providers, specialists, and community services, integrated care models ensure comprehensive and holistic care for patients with complex health needs. They emphasize proactive management of chronic conditions, preventive care, and seamless transitions between healthcare settings, ultimately enhancing efficiency, reducing healthcare costs, and improving patient satisfaction within the PHC setting.
