Abstract

The pilot aimed to integrate care across primary, acute, community, mental health and social care for people with diabetes and those over 75 years through: care planning; multidisciplinary case reviews; information sharing; and project management support.

The pilot successfully engaged provider organisations, created a shared strategic vision, and established governance structures, although there was no evidence of significant reductions in emergency admissions.
