Definitions
RIIC-4MMDP defines "integrated care" as patient-centered, community-based health interventions focused
on crosscutting issues common to many disabling diseases/chronic conditions. Integrated care is cost-
effective, prevents duplication of services, provides a more uniform approach to early detection and care, and builds
synergy among health care workers and within health care systems.
Integrated care promotes:
Patient-centered care and self-care for chronic conditions
Integration of MMDP with disease control interventions
Training affected persons and their families, community volunteers and health workers concurrently to act as a
team
Sustainable interventions and technologies
Capacity building across the continuum of care
