为改善保健服务而进行的保健服务改革越来越注重保健一体化。然而，如何整合定义的变化复杂的努力，设计，合成和比较整合的研究，在医疗保健。整合举措的评价将得到加强，描述他们根据明确的整合定义，并指定他们寻求测试的经验关系之间的整合类型或整合和护理结果之间。借鉴以前的工作，我们提出了一个全面的理论模型之间的关系类型的整合，并提出如何衡量它们。
Efforts to transform health care delivery to improve care have increasingly focused on care integration. However, variation in how integration is defined has complicated efforts to design, synthesize, and compare studies of integration in health care. Evaluations of integration initiatives would be enhanced by describing them according to clear definitions of integration and specifying which empirical relationships they seek to test-whether among types of integration or between integration and outcomes of care. Drawing on previous work, we present a comprehensive theoretical model of relationships between types of integration and propose how to measure them.
