Health care today presents a difficult challenge: as our ability to recognize and treat disease continues to grow, so too does the complexity of delivering those solutions to each patient and to populations.

This report addresses the issue of care integration with the aim of outlining the major barriers to effective integration and providing a framework for further consideration and action among stakeholders.
