Activity: Participation in Academic conference (Speaker) - Integration or fragmentation of care services? Dissemination Event
Integration or fragmentation of care services? Dissemination event for the Social Network Analysis for modelling integrated care services for older people with complex needs study.
We presented the findings of the research to service users and service providers and discussed how the findings can inform and be implemented in practice. Several practical ideas were generated and participants hope to take these forward into their organisations.
Summary: We presented the findings of the project to service users and service providers and discussed how the findings can inform and be implemented in practice. We found that althoug the importance of partnership working is recognised, there is a lack of awareness and communiction, complicated by a lack of funding for partnership working. Several practical ideas were generated and participants hoped to take these forward into their organisations.
Underpinning research: The Social Network Analysis for modelling integrated care services for older people with complex needs study is a Health and Care Reserach Wales funded project. The aim of this research was to test the feasibility of applying SNA in an integrated social care setting in order to model the complex systems that deliver care services to older people with complex needs. We had two main research questions:
1. What organisational links currently exist for the provision of integrated social care services for community dwelling older people with complex needs?
2. What are the gaps, barriers and enablers in linking services as perceived by key service stakeholders?
Beneficiaries: Older people with complex needs.
Notes: I was one of the co-applicants of the grant, collected and anaylsed qualitative data, was one of the event organisers and presented at the event
