Main Results:

  • Partnership success is conceptualized in two primary ways: process issues (collaboration, sustainability) and outcome issues (service delivery, user well-being).
  • The majority of research focuses heavily on process issues.
  • There is significantly less emphasis on outcome success in the existing literature.

Conclusions:

  • Current research on partnership working in health and social care prioritizes process over outcomes.
  • A significant knowledge gap exists regarding the impact of partnerships on service delivery and user well-being.
  • Future research should prioritize evaluating outcome success to better inform social welfare policy and improve user outcomes.
