Summary
This RAND Europe evaluation report summarises the results from 16 different pilot projects sponsored by the Department of Health to explore ways of integrating patient care from different local providers. Local decision-makers should not underestimate the challenges involved in integrating and coordinating care across silos / boundaries. It is important to remember the centrality of the needs and preferences of service users.
