“…Notably, financial incentives are potentially powerful tools to stimulate IC (Averill et al, 2010;Tsiachristas, 2016), but separate payment mechanism can block effective integration (Struckmann et al, 2017), moreover, each payment method has a certain negative incentive effect, so mixed payment should be adopted to support more effective and efficient IC system (Berenson and Rice, 2015;Stokes et al, 2018). Furthermore, silos of data collection on a cross-institutional level have created a fragmentation of electronic medical records in many countries, potentially hindering continuity of IC and resulting in clinical, and administrative inefficiencies (Bradley et al, 2017;Meinert et al, 2019;Eh et al, 2020). Governments should fully recognize the great value of medical data, strengthen information systems and promote legal and compliant medical data sharing.…”

BackgroundIntegrated care (IC) is the cornerstone of the sustainable development of the medical and health system. A thorough examination of the existing scientific literature on IC is essential for assessing the present state of knowledge on this subject. This review seeks to offer an overview of evidence-based knowledge, pinpoint existing knowledge gaps related to IC, and identify areas requiring further research.MethodsData were retrieved from the Web of Science Core Collection, from 2010 to 2020. Bibliometrics and social network analysis were used to explore and map the knowledge structure, research hotspots, development status, academic groups and future development trends of IC.ResultsA total of 7,501 articles were obtained. The number of publications on IC was rising in general. Healthcare science services were the most common topics. The United States contributed the highest number of articles. The level of collaboration between countries and between authors was found to be relatively low. The keywords were stratified into four clusters: IC, depression, integrative medicine, and primary health care. In recent years, complementary medicine has become a hotspot and will continue to be a focus.ConclusionThe study provides a comprehensive analysis of global research hotspots and trends in IC, and highlights the characteristics, challenges, and potential solutions of IC. To address resource fragmentation, collaboration difficulties, insufficient financial incentives, and poor information sharing, international collaboration needs to be strengthened to promote value co-creation and model innovation in IC. The contribution of this study lies in enhancing people’s understanding of the current state of IC research, guiding scholars to discover new research perspectives, and providing valuable references for researchers and policymakers in designing and implementing effective IC strategies.

“…Therefore, transitional care has been mainly provided by clinical nurses rather than community nurses through follow-up phone calls and home visits [ 18 ]. For both patients and providers, effective transitional care programs are expensive in terms of time, cost, and personnel [ 19 ]. Additionally, different from developed countries, the cost of transitional care is not a part of the basic medical insurance system in China, which leads to a greater financial burden being placed on older people.…”

Factors associated with instrumental support in transitional care among older people with chronic disease: a cross-sectional study

et al. 2022

Background Instrumental support, which is defined as practical, tangible, and informational assistance extended to patients, is crucial for older people in transition. However, little is known about instrumental support in transitional care. Thus, the aim of this study was to evaluate the instrumental support of older people in transitional care. Methods This cross-sectional study was conducted using the Questionnaire of Instrumental Support in Transitional Care (QISCT) to collect data from 747 older people in China from September to November 2020. Survey items consisted of a sociodemographic characteristics questionnaire and the QISCT. Multiple regression analyses were conducted to examine the association between independent variables and the QISCT scores. Results The total score of the QISCT was 39.43 (± 9.11), and there was a significant gap between the anticipated support and received support. The satisfaction of instrumental support was low. Multiple regression analyses showed that educational level, the number of intimate relationships, monthly family income, monthly costs of transitional care, diabetes, and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease were associated with instrumental support in transitional care. Conclusions To cope with the burden caused by chronic disease, the government and transitional care teams should establish a demand-oriented transitional care service model and pay more attention to helping older people obtain adequate and satisfactory instrumental support.
