Assessment criteria: 1.4 Explain how integrated care that crosses traditional boundaries achieves better outcomes for individuals

• Integrated care is the process of several individuals and organisations coming together to plan for and deliver health and care services
• This crosses the traditional boundaries of health services and care services being distinct and aims to provide a more holistic approach to healthcare
• This helps individuals achieve better outcomes because all parties have the same common goals in mind and are concerned about the whole of the individual, rather than simply their specific areas of expertise
