• CO-ORDINATION OF CARE WITHIN PRIMARY HEALTH CARE AND WITH OTHER SECTORS: A SYSTEMATIC REVIEW 1 Page led by Gawaine Powell Davies
  
  As the population ages and the rate of chronic disease increases, more people are receiving complex regimes of care, from a variety of health care providers. This care must be well coordinated if people with complex needs are to receive care that is comprehensive and continuous and if they are to take an active role in their care. The need to coordinate care is one of the drivers for health service integration.

• INTEGRATION, CO-ORDINATION AND MULTIDISCIPLINARY CARE IN AUSTRALIA: GROWTH VIA OPTIMAL GOVERNANCE ARRANGEMENTS 1 Page led by Claire Jackson

  The Council of Australian Governments and Commonwealth mental health initiatives will require interjurisdictional relationships that have not existed before. To sustain these reforms effective and integrated governance will be key.
