An integrated care model is a dynamic approach to delivering health care services. Key to the delivery of integrated care is a high degree of collaboration and communication among all the health care providers involved in the continuum of care for any given patient. This model is designed to break-through the barriers that define the current fragmented and siloed nature of the health care delivery system, and relies on the sharing of information among an interdisciplinary treatment team. There are many different types of integrated care models, including accountable care organizations (ACOs), patient-centered medical homes, and health homes. Each of these models constitute integrated care, but do so in distinct ways.
