Integrated Community Care: a new opportunity for Primary Care

Specific sub-themes:

• Accessibility to care for all citizens
• Social integration as driver for preventive care
• Participation of citizens: how can we establish a dialogue with the citizens, so that they contribute to an integrated care model
• How can we close the gap in access to health & care; how do we ensure that all people have access to affordable care
• Link between population health and personal care; a person’s health cannot be seen in isolation but must be placed in the rich contextual web such as the socioeconomic circumstances and other health determinants
• Health in all policies; how can different city departments (mobility, environment, urbanisation, health & care …) collaborate on preventive care
