‘Epic Fails’ in Integrated Care

There are many ways in which we get things wrong when integrating care:

• A lack of shared values or vision.
• The local context hasn’t been considered.
• People and communities are not at the centre of health and care services.
• The capacity of local communities may have been neglected.
• The workforce is not sustainable.
• Governance models are not in place, or there is an absence of leadership.
• There’s an inability for data and information to be collected, stored, and shared.
• Financial systems are fragmented.
• No one has considered what success will look like or how it will be measured.
