Goal: To accomplish the benefits of integrating long term care into the mainstream of health and social service delivery in San Diego County, multiple complementary strategies will be pursued. The idea, as proposed by Dr. Mark Meiners, is to develop key components of care systems both within fully integrated care plans as well as through stand-alone options. All the strategies described below will assist in the coordination and access of all populations with chronic care needs to the full continuum of quality health and social services.
