Title
Integrated care, population health management and person-centredness: reflections and experiences from around the world
Abstract
From the very beginning, integrated care set out to transform care systems and shift the focus from organisations and structures to patients and communities. The IOM (2001) defined patient-centredness as one of the six elements of high quality health care, and the WHO has emphasised the importance of responsiveness, person- and people-centredness and community involvement in several reports over the last 2 decades, starting with the World Health Report 2000. Population health management (PHM) has also been around for some time, but it has garnered new interest in recent years with the rise of big data and predictive modelling. One core principle of PHM is to look at a population as a whole, taking into account how the social determinants of health play out in a specific neighbourhood or area. As such, it is hailed to be inherently person-centred. But when putting theory into practice, the inclusion of people and communities on all levels and in all aspects of care is still far from the norm and often an afterthought. The prevailing culture is still that we do care TO people and not WITH them. This presentation reflects on the reasons why and the failure inherent in our current systems, and wants to provoke the audience into action to finally make person-centredness happen at scale.

Title
A whole-systems approach to the development of person-centered services
Abstract
Person-centred care continues to be a dominant focus as the hallmark of a high quality healthcare service. However, despite more than 20 years of developments in person-centred care, including concept and theory development, intervention implementation and evaluation and advances in patient-reported outcomes, it seems that most health systems do not have person-centred systems to sustain person-centred care. Research and development in person-centredness continues to primarily focus on patient experience as a discrete event of care and much of the outcome measurement tends to focus at this level also. A person-centred service goes beyond such narrow perspectives of service delivery and quality systems, and instead aims to understand what it means to have a person-centred service that is person-centred for all persons. Adopting a whole-systems approach to the development of person-centred services Is crucial should we ever achieve the ideal goal of person-centredness for all persons. These issues will be explored in this presentation and a whole-systems methodology proposed for considering the systematic development of person-centredness at all levels of the healthcare system.
