“…47], and no general approach exists to conceptualize barriers that impede inter-organisational collaboration. Some studies rely on leadership concepts [48], neo-institutional theory [49], a complex adaptive systems perspective [50], professional identities [51], or innovation approaches [27]. This leaves room for further conceptual work, as the last section will show.…”

“…National borders: Borders of neighbouring territories can work as barriers to the integration of care in inter-organisational settings, especially by causing administrative or regulatory differences due to different healthcare systems and languages [49]. When inter-organisational collaboration stretches over a wider geographical distance, “differences in the meaning and use of relevant concepts between countries and regions” [53, p. 950] may also occur.…”

Barriers to the Integration of Care in Inter-Organisational Settings: A Literature Review

Introduction:In recent years, inter-organisational collaboration between healthcare organisations has become of increasingly vital importance in order to improve the integration of health service delivery. However, different barriers reported in academic literature seem to hinder the formation and development of such collaboration.Theory and methods:This systematic literature review of forty studies summarises and categorises the barriers to integrated care in inter-organisational settings as reported in previous studies. It analyses how these barriers operate.Results:Within these studies, twenty types of barriers have been identified and then categorised in six groups (barriers related to administration and regulation, barriers related to funding, barriers related to the inter-organisational domain, barriers related to the organisational domain, barriers related to service delivery, and barriers related to clinical practices). Not all of these barriers emerge passively, some are set up intentionally. They are not only context-specific, but are also often related and influence each other.Discussion and conclusion:The compilation of these results allows for a better understanding of the characteristics and reasons for the occurrence of barriers that impede collaboration aiming for the integration of care, not only for researchers but also for practitioners. It can help to explain and counteract the slow progress and limited efficiency and effectiveness of some of the inter-organisational collaboration in healthcare settings.

“…Of particular concern has been the importance of the structural factors, especially inequality, influencing im/migrant healthseeking behavior (Dressler, 2010;Farmer, 2003;Nguyen & Peschard, 2003) and transnational public health problems (Collins-Dogrul, 2006). Ruiz-Casares et al (2010) suggest a research approach that engages the macrolevel (laws and practices established by states) when examining immigrant health-related practices, particularly during periods of hardening immigrant policies.…”

Undocumented immigrants and their use of medical services in Orange County, California

a b s t r a c tDoes an undocumented immigration status predict the use of medical services? To explore this question, this paper examines medical care utilization of undocumented Latino immigrants compared to Latino legal immigrants and citizens, and non-Latino whites in Orange County, California. Data were collected through a random sample telephone survey of 805 Latinos and 396 non-Hispanic whites between January 4 and January 30, 2006. Findings show that undocumented immigrants had relatively low incomes and were less likely to have medical insurance; experience a number of stresses in their lives; and underutilize medical services when compared to legal immigrants and citizens. Predictors of use of medical services are found to include undocumented immigration status, medical insurance, education, and gender. Undocumented Latinos were found to use medical services less than legal immigrants and citizens, and to rely more on clinic-based care when they do seek medical services.

“…Government networks usefully capture the type of decentralized, every-day cross-border diplomacy that has been sustaining public health cooperation on the US-Mexico border since the 1940s. A network of local government employees and ministers in public health and sanitation departments in collaboration with an international organization and bi-national association worked for over 60 years to establish relationships through which they provide technical assistance, capacity building and professional socialization, exchange information, manage joint projects, and develop cooperative policy (Collins-Dogrul 2006).…”

Governance research suggests that transnational networks are the key to developing and implementing cooperative public policy across borders. I examine this claim through analysing how the US–Mexico Border Health Commission, a policy instrument designed to enhance transnational public health cooperation, developed from idea to law in Mexico and the United States. Despite a long‐standing transnational network, the policy process took over ten years and was contentious, politicized by domestic policymaking in the United States. I show how transnational networked governance intersects with domestic politics and find that the structure of overlap between the two are places where actors promoting state and transnational interests struggle with each other to define public problems in an attempt to shape policy outcomes.
