Joint working between health and social care has long been a policy priority in England, with growing interest by the previous New Labour government in achieving 'joined-up solutions to joined-up problems'.
POLICY/PRACTICE: Against this background, this paper reviews lessons from current and previous partnership initiatives, summarising some of the key approaches adopted and exploring key underlying concepts and frameworks.
Despite a tendency to focus on structural 'solutions', evidence and experience suggests a series of more important processes, approaches and concepts that might help to promote more effective inter-agency working-including a focus on outcomes, consideration of the depth and breadth of relationship required and the need to work together on different levels.
在英格兰,卫生和社会保健部门之间的合作一直是政策重点,前新工党政府越来越关注实现“对综合性问题的综合性解决方案”。
政策/实践:在此背景下,本文回顾了当前和以前的伙伴关系举措的经验教训,总结了所采用的一些关键方法,并探讨了关键的基本概念和框架。
尽管有倾向于关注结构性“解决方案”,但证据和经验表明,有一系列更重要的过程、方法和概念可能有助于促进更有效的机构间合作,包括关注成果、考虑所需关系的深度和广度,以及需要在不同层面上共同努力。
