RESUMO
Nowadays, several countries' health governments have recognized that the complex treatment of chronic diseases, prevention and rehabilitation requires a new approach. This study presents the possible solution of integrated service delivery in health and other sectors. Furthermore, it shows how the integration of primary care services was implemented and how the integration of different levels of providers changes the organization of care. This study is based on an overview of the relevant international literature, as well as the 5th European Primary Care Forum. The comprehensive approach of integrated care and adaption of the needs of local communities encourage the development of new organizational forms and services in primary care. The integrated service forms are more suitable to satisfy the needs of patients and communities and provide wide range of services, but it is important to find the appropriate dimensions of integration which would fit our goals.
