Overview

Dependencies, Debates, and the Path Forward A Live-Streamed Interactive Panel Discussion IThe Nine Pillars of Integrated Care is a meta-framework that summarises the conditions that enable the adoption of integrated care at scale. As well as being the knowledge “spine” used by IFIC to organise and share evidence and knowledge about integrated care, the Nine Pillars has been adopted in a number of countries as a tool to support policy-making and implementation. This expert panel session celebrates the launch of IFIC's revised Nine Pillars of Integrated Care by exploring the critical interdependencies between pillars and engaging with the productive tensions that emerged during the 18-month scientific validation process. Members of the Delphi expert panel involved in the validation of the revised Nine Pillars will join IFIC’s Chief Executive for a discussion about the Pillars, their interdependencies, some of the tensions that emerged within the expert group during the validation and, together with the audience, demonstrate how diverse perspectives and ongoing development in the field strengthens the Nine Pillars.
