Abstract

As is the case for integrated care in general, workforce interventions need to be well planned, implemented, and evaluated. The journey to improved health outcomes by means of integrated care is a relatively recent one, but it has demonstrated that workforce changes form an area of attention that is essential for the understanding and success of integrated strategies as a whole. Even if integrated care should be surpassed by a superior approach in the future, workforce changes as part of complex improvement strategies will necessarily remain on the radar of every health care system working towards improved population health.
