“…Currently, there are no other studies that also used a SNA to analyse the structure of regional IDC-networks. Neither could we use SNA-studies on other types of integrated care networks to compare the structure of an IDC-network, as these focus on professional or social networks, on other foci of integration, or are conducted in different countries [24][25][26][27]. Thus, the findings related to the exact structure of this IDC-network cannot be compared to previous research.…”

Introduction:Cooperation is key to provide integrated dementia care. However, different kinds of (personal and organisational) interests will affect collaboration in integrated dementia care (IDC) networks. Hence, it is crucial to understand how interests influence relations in IDC-networks in order to shape future policies. Methods:A sequential mixed methods single case study design was used, in three phases: a Social Network Analysis (SNA) based on data from questionnaires (n = 24-26), explorative interviews with network partners (n = 14) and a focus group with network coordinators (n = 7) to explore the conceptual generalisability of the single case of the IDC-network. Results:The SNA revealed that highly connected organisations were often established care organisations that deliver case management, while smaller care organisations or welfare organisations tend to be less connected. Care-related, strategic, and financial interests influence participation of organisations in the IDC-network, while personal intrinsic motivations determine a representative's contribution to the network. Especially conflicting interests strongly influence the network structure. Discussion and conclusion:We conclude that conflicting interests in IDC-networks stand in the way of reaching the collective goal of an IDC-network, i.e., optimising the wellbeing of people with dementia and their informal caregivers in the region. Thus, IDC-networks should act to manage, resolve and prevent disputes arising from conflicting interests.

“…At the feasibility/pilot stage we also undertook: a) testing of person-centred reporting measures (PRMs); b) spatial data-linkage studies [37]; c) hospital outcome data-linkage studies [38]; and d) meso-level social networks analysis studies [39,40]. Full reports of those studies will be published separately.…”

Background Introduction Savic and colleagues have described integrated care as a "holistic care model" that encompasses individual medical, physical and mental health needs, and includes social issues and environment [1]. Place-based interventions (PBIs) are initiatives that use complex partnership networks to implement multiple-component interventions aimed at changing the social and physical environment within a targeted location. Such an approach to integrated care creates a coordinated approach between multiple healthcare providers such as primary care, social services and hospitals, and supports community services. The PBI approach both connects and aligns the different sectors and organisations [2]. Effective integrated care strategies for primary-secondary interface include factors such as communication and information exchange, interdisciplinary teamwork and shared care guidelines and pathways [3]. Integrated care is thus founded on the interconnectedness between social and health issues of an individual and communities. There are many approaches to the design and implementation of integrated care. A co-location model, through PBIs, is one of them. PBIs co-locate different services and activities such as legal, health, social and housing within the same physical space. The extant literature supports the PBI approach for several reasons. Firstly, it is local physical and social

Abstract: Lessons Learned: While these and other benefits to collaboration were clear, the costs were also apparent. Executive staff should use a strategic approach to collaboration, ensuring goals are articulated and aligned.
