The health and Social care services are changing, they are coming together as one and moving away from the recent past of hospital led care to community based support and self promoting care. From the creation of the The Public Bodies (Joint Working) (Scotland) Act 2014 , Glasgow City Council and NHS Greater Glasgow Clyde (NHSGGC) will work together in partnership and have agreed that community health and social services will be integrated. The Integrated Joint Board (IJB) is committed to ensuring the people of Glasgow receive the care they need and to reduced inequality by providing effective and accessible services in our local community . The IJB will also ensure that the services provided are seamless to the service users and carer’s.…
This is a way of promoting independence and empowering the individual and focus on community resilience by taking charge of their own wellbeing. ‘Without integration at various levels [of health systems], all aspects of health care performance can suffer. Patients get lost, needed services fail to be delivered, or are delayed, quality and patient satisfaction decline, and the potential for cost-effectiveness diminishes.’ (Kodner and Spreeuwenbur, 2002, p2) In contrast to this, there are some concerns that injecting competition into services funded in the NHS may prevent effective integration. Which may result in fragmentation, which could lead to severe consequences for patients especially if their care is urgent or complex. Further disadvantages of having integrated care is the risk of confidentiality being broken or if the records are accessible online, the service may go down restricting everyone having access. In regards of key worker as the main point of contact, this would not be practical is integrated care was available for everyone as more staff would be required to become key workers which would not be cost effective and also workloads would increase due to the need to support every…

Interoperability is a significant health link that connects directly to human services. It has the power and ability of health care systems to work together within and across organizational boundaries. These advances are effective delivery of health care for individuals and their communities. Human services provider’s goals are for clients to be able to seek treatment if needed, socialize with others, and work towards better living conditions. The clients would need to focus on themselves and have the desire to have a better living environment. They have to be able to seek assistance in time of distress and be able to find resources available to them. Human service provider’s services have to be rendered with the highest level of functioning. There should also be continuity of care within the state and between the public, and private sectors. The ranges of these services within the system must be responding to the individual need of the consumers and the populations being served. As providers…

The integrated system in health is aimed to ameliorate the quality of care in general. It should impact the cost and the safety in the healthcare delivery. In the United States, it exists two major models of integrated health system; that are the horizontal health system and vertical health system. It is possible to add another model called virtual integrated health system. Before continuing, it is necessary to know what each model is.…
Health information systems having the power to work together within and across organizational boundaries in order to advance the effective delivery of health care of individuals and communities is called Interoperability. Interoperability enhances the significance for information technology to make the networks and integrations work. It also affects care delivery, continuity of care, and the ability to share information with patients for patient engagement. The term is most widely used in product enhancement and marketing. In human services different providers employ interoperability to communicate with other systems and services for better results. (Margaret Rouse, 2006)…

Healthcare consist of a variety of specialized services to meet each patient’s needs. In order to provide the best patient care, it is important for each provider to have the tools and resources that is needed to improve the patient’s health. The industry is broken down into different organizations as it is difficult for one provider to render all aspects of services. Providers have to be credentialed and licensed to treat different type of illnesses and diseases. If one goes to their primary care physician due to a broken foot, he typically would refer the patient to see an Orthopedist, who specializes in broken bones. Healthcare organizations are the same way, not one facility cannot treat all diagnosis.…
Continuity of care, for all patients, depends on the medical professionals working together for the betterment human health that frequently rely on each other to completely care for the patient. I don’t believe one could distinguish who or what department is more important in the care of a patient in the hospital setting; from the emergency department entrance door spanning throughout the hospital, every department and every medical professional is focused on one goal: to restore normalcy in the patient and return he/she to the life that he/she was living prior to entering that door. Patient care is conquered by a team of providers contributing to a plan of care for the stabilization, improvement, and health of human…
