Abstract

PRISMA is the only example of a co‐ordinated‐type model to be developed and fully implemented with a process and outcome evaluation. The PRISMA model was implemented in three areas (urban, rural with or without a local hospital) in Quebec, Canada and an implementation evaluation was carried out using mixed (qualitative and quantitative) methods. Over four years, the implementation rates went from 22% to 79%. The perception of integration by managers and clinicians working in the various organisations of the network shows that most interactions are perceived as at the co‐operation level, some getting the highest collaboration level. The perception of the efficacy of case managers was very high. Implementing such a model is feasible, and the decision to generalise it was made in Quebec. This model might be more appropriate for a universal publicly funded health care system like those in Canada, the UK and the Scandinavian countries.

Abstract

Interest has grown in integrated care models as means of responding better to the needs of frail older adults. In order to provide appropriate input for health policy reforms, the effects of integrated care must be assessed with sound methodologies. Based on three experiments conducted in the province of Quebec, Canada, this article provides practical advice on key issues involved in evaluating integrated care models.
