Summary
Integrated care systems (ICSs) offer a new model for improving perioperative care. This approach enhances patient outcomes by integrating services across the entire surgical pathway, from pre-operation to home recovery.
Area of Science:
- Healthcare management
- Surgical care pathways
- Public health initiatives
Background:
- NHS England established 10 integrated care systems (ICSs) in 2016.
- ICSs aim to devolve health and social care responsibilities to local partnerships.
- This presents an opportunity to integrate perioperative care.
Purpose of the Study:
- To review how ICSs can facilitate integrated perioperative care.
- To demonstrate how improved perioperative care can meet ICS aims.
- To highlight progress in patient outcomes through integrated care.
Main Methods:
- Review of existing ICS plans and perioperative care strategies.
- Analysis of successful initiatives in cancer care pathways.
- Examination of integrated perioperative care examples nationwide.
Main Results:
- ICSs provide a framework for enhancing perioperative care.
- Integrated perioperative care can significantly improve patient outcomes.
- Successful initiatives demonstrate the value of this integrated approach.
Conclusions:
- Integrated perioperative care aligns with ICS objectives.
- Clinicians can leverage ICSs to advance patient care.
- Perioperative care adds significant value to local health populations.

An integrated healthcare system (IHS) is a set of organizations that provides for or arranges to provide coordinated and continuous service to a defined population. The IHS takes responsibility for that particular population's health status and outcome, both clinically and fiscally. An integrated healthcare system is a well-organized, well-coordinated, and collaborative network. The integrated delivery system is a network that connects different healthcare providers to deliver organized,...

At the different levels of the healthcare system, we see varying methods of healthcare used. These methods include managed care systems, case management, and primary healthcare.
Managed Care System:
The managed care system is designed to control the cost while maintaining the quality of care. The patient's care from admission to discharge is planned by the primary care provider or the case manager, also known as the gatekeeper. In a managed care system, the number of care providers is...
