Abstract
This paper explores an approach to the implementation and evaluation of integrated health service delivery. It identifies the key issues involved in integration evaluation, provides a framework for assessment and identifies areas for the development of new tools and measures. A proactive role for evaluators in responding to health service reform is advocated.

Journal of Clinical EpidemiologyImproving the sensitivity of the Barthel Index for stroke rehabilitation
2,561 Citations1989Surya Shah, Frank Vanclay +1 more
Suggested changes to the scoring of the Barthel Index, and guidelines for determining the level of independence are presented, which were applied in the assessment of 258 first stroke patients referred for inpatient comprehensive rehabilitation in Brisbane, Australia during 1984 calendar year.
BMJIntegrated care pathways
923 Citations1998H. Campbell, Rhona Hotchkiss +2 more
The degree to which integrated care pathways succeed in realising their potential for improving patient care is still uncertain, but enough evidence exists in their favour to justify more widespread evaluation of their impact.
Medical CareThe Duke Health Profile
363 Citations1990George R. Parkerson, W E Broadhead +1 more
Convergent and discriminant validity were demonstrated by score correlations between the DUKE and the Sickness Impact Profile, the Tennessee Self-Concept Scale, and the Zung Self-Rating Depression Scale; clinical validity was supported by differences between the health scores of patients with clinically different health problems.
Journal of Clinical EpidemiologyPrognosis of gallstones with mild or no symptoms: 25 years of follow-up in a health maintenance organization
249 Citations1989Gary D. Friedman, Carol A. Raviola +1 more
The patients in this study are probably more representative of outpatients with gallstones seen by most primary care physicians than are most groups investigated previously for prognosis, and their event rates are sufficiently similar to those used in published decision analyses, that they should not alter previous conclusions that early elective cholecystectomy will have little positive or negative effect on average life expectancy.
Diabetes CareDevelopment of the Diabetes Knowledge (DKN) Scales: Forms DKNA, DKNB, and DKNC
151 Citations1984Stewart M. Dunn, Janet M. Bryson +4 more
Results indicate that rapid and reliable assessment is possible with a scale of only 15 validated items, and the development of parallel forms of the scale extends the range of retesting possibilities for diagnosis and research.
Journal of Epidemiology & Community HealthUse of the Nottingham Health Profile with patients after a stroke.
150 Citations1986Shah Ebrahim, D H Barer +1 more
The Nottingham Health Profile (NHP) is a valid indicator of depressed mood, and combining its components into a total score gives the greatest accuracy in detecting depression.
Patient Education and CounselingA comparison of the diabetes-related attitudes of health care professionals and patients
53 Citations1993Robert M. Anderson, James T. Fitzgerald +2 more
The most striking finding of the study was that patients tended to express a significantly more judgmental, moralistic attitude toward patient behavior than did health care professionals.

These projects were an important cultural change agent to transform the individual components of the system into one that is capable of delivering care continuously across multiple sites of care in a complex integrated delivery system.
