The Tangled Web of Integrating Health and Social Services in Canada.

Abstract

It is important to have all the pieces of health and social care systems working together to maintain and improve the lives and well-being of medically complex Canadians. Being medically complex means needing physical and mental healthcare for chronic conditions, addressing functional health limitations and adapting models of care to social vulnerabilities, such as rurality or cultural safety. This could happen to any of us or to our family members, at any time.
