Digital Health Systems in Integrated Care

Digital health systems have an important role to play in the delivery of integrated health and social care services. Despite their utility, the adoption of these tools has lagged for many organizations, leading to missed opportunities for advancing integrated care. This chapter describes how digital health innovations, in particular information and communication technologies, can address three common integrated care “problems” to demonstrate how these tools can be put into practice. Practical recommendations and strategies to enable implementation are offered at the end of the chapter.
