Area of Science:

  • Healthcare Management
  • Public Health
  • Health Services Research

Background:

  • Ineffective healthcare organization increases maternal and neonatal morbidity and mortality.
  • Integrated care aims to deliver coherent, coordinated, and continuous health services.
  • Focus on low- and middle-income countries (LMICs) where care gaps are pronounced.

Purpose of the Study:

  • Identify and describe integrated care strategies in LMICs.
  • Analyze how these strategies affect healthcare organization.
  • Synthesize evidence on the implementation and outcomes of integration strategies.

Main Methods:

  • Systematic literature review.
  • Searched multiple electronic databases for relevant studies.
  • Included 14 studies meeting specific inclusion criteria.

Main Results:

  • Identified five types of integration strategies: organisational, service/professional, functional, organisational/normative, and clinical/functional.
  • Organisational and service/professional integration strategies were most frequently identified.
  • No studies described systemic integration strategies in LMICs.

Conclusions:

  • Most theoretical integration strategies have been implemented and studied in LMICs.
  • Different strategies can yield similar organizational outcomes.
  • Inter-organizational collaboration is crucial for effective maternal care integration.
