 This paper proposes a conceptual framework that combines the concepts of primary care and integrated care in order to understand the complexity of integrated care. The framework identifies person-focused and population-based care as guiding principles for achieving integration across the care continuum, with integration playing complementary roles on the micro, clinical, meso, professional and organizational, and macro, system, level. Functional and normative integration ensure connectivity between these levels. This article was authored by Pimpi Valentine, Sanaki M. Skeppman, Wilfred Ofage, and others.
