This book critically examines integrated care, looking at integration from an unconventional angle to reveal the tacit assumptions we make when we manage and change health services. Kaehne questions our premises on health services management, the motivations for change and the shortcomings of health policy in complex environments.
Over the last twenty years integrated care has been touted as a solution to many issues in health services, such as insufficient coordination between services, cumbersome organizational boundaries, interrupted patient journeys, as well as spiraling health care costs. However, despite volumes of research, the field has seen few innovative advances in recent years. In particular, prevailing integrated care implementation practice and research appear to be very health science centred, spurning approaches from other disciplines.


Axel Kaehne argues that it is time to re-evaluate how we investigate care integration. He asks us to radically question our assumptions about integrated care as a managerial, organisational and behavioural endeavor. This is a profound departure from conventional thinking about integration in health and social care. Kaehne reveals the tacit assumptions we make when we manage and change health services and offers a fresh perspective on care integration whilst inviting readers to examine long established research orthodoxies. This eclectic conceptual and theoretical approach produces surprising insights for everyone who is ready to see things anew.

Axel Kaehne is a Reader for Health Services Research at the Medical School at Edge Hill University and Editor-in-Chief of the Journal of Integrated Care (Emerald Publishing). He is also Visiting Professor at the Department of Health and Social Management at the University of Eastern Finland, Kuopio and currently President of EHMA, the European Health Management Association (Brussels).
