Enablers of integrated care

The enablers of integration are the contextual factors and local preconditions that support integrated care. They describe whether a system is properly equipped and ready to deliver person-centred coordinated care.

Enabling factors include aspects such as:

  • effective leadership and governance
  • the ability to engage communities and local resources
  • a workforce that is well integrated
  • the sharing of data and information, and integrated commissioning
