In 2003, the World Health Organisation (WHO) already began to identify it as one of the key pathways to improve primary care (World Health Report: 2003); in 2004, the European Commission declared integrated care as vital for the sustainability of social protection systems in Europe. Nowadays, it is recognised as a topical issue and a core component of health and social care reforms across European regions.
