Abstract
The concept of care integration in the United States has evolved over the past four decades to move beyond traditional medical care. Individuals with complex conditions require teams that can identify needs that span across medical, behavioral, social, and functional domains and navigate a continuum of community-based services. While team structures vary, the common elements include individual assessments, targeting of high-risk subpopulations, and the alignment of incentives. The current focus of policy makers in the United States is to identify incentives to advance the integration of Medicare and Medicaid for those who are dually eligible for both public programs.
