The study suggests that for integrated care programmes (ICPs) for community-dwelling frail older people, establishing multidisciplinary teams of competent healthcare providers that provide person-centered care, closely work together, and communicate effectively with other stakeholders is essential. Additionally, involving older people and informal caregivers in the care process, as well as ensuring financial support, efficient use of information technology and organizational alignment, are crucial for the success of ICPs.
Objective To identify the relationships between the context in which integrated care programmes (ICPs) for community-dwelling frail older people are applied, the mechanisms by which the programmes do (not) work and the outcomes resulting from this interaction by establishing a programme theory. Design Rapid realist review. Inclusion criteria Reviews and meta-analyses (January 2013-January 2019) and non-peer-reviewed literature (January 2013-December 2019) reporting on integrated care for community-dwelling frail older people (>= 60 years). Analysis Selection and appraisal of documents was based on relevance and rigour according to the Realist And Meta-narrative Evidence Syntheses: Evolving Standards criteria. Data on context, mechanisms, programme activities and outcomes were extracted. Factors were categorised into the five strategies of the WHO framework of integrated people-centred health services (IPCHS). Results 27 papers were included. The following programme theory was developed: it is essential to establish multidisciplinary teams of competent healthcare providers (HCPs) providing person-centred care, closely working together and communicating effectively with other stakeholders. Older people and informal caregivers should be involved in the care process. Financial support, efficient use of information technology and organisational alignment are also essential. ICPs demonstrate positive effects on the functionality of older people, satisfaction of older people, informal caregivers and HCPs, and a delayed placement in a nursing home. Heterogeneous effects were found for hospital-related outcomes, quality of life, healthcare costs and use of healthcare services. The two most prevalent WHO-IPCHS strategies as part of ICPs are 'creating an enabling environment', followed by 'strengthening governance and accountability'. Conclusion Currently, most ICPs do not address all WHO-IPCHS strategies. In order to optimise ICPs for frail older people the interaction between context items, mechanisms, programme activities and the outcomes should be taken into account from different perspectives (system, organisation, service delivery, HCP and patient).
