Background: The implementation of Integrated Care poses many challenges at a macro, meso and micro level. This workshop aims to explore the role that a proven intervention like Integrated Care Pathways is playing in advancing cultural and organizational transformation towards integrated care. Worldwide there are a plethora of ICPs implementation initiatives offering a great opportunity for knowledge exchange and cross-boundaries learning, but the latest studies show a high degree of variability in the implementation of ICPs. Aims and Objectives: The Aim of this workshop is to offer the ICIC 2019 audience an opportunity to hear from the latest international advances on ICPs implementation and to reflect upon collectively. Specific objectives are: - To share the state-of-the-art evidence on ICPs - To present the latest analysis of ICPs implementation, variability, challenges and key learnings - To present key findings from a best practice intervention of ICPs implementation at a systemic level in Spain - To present key findings and understandings from an ICPs case study with cancer patients at a hospital in Ireland - To access an innovative example of ICPs technology-based implementation in cancer patients - To debate on the future role of research in ICPS as a technology to promote Integrated Care and inform practice - To inspire reflection on the crossroads between ICPs and Chronic Care, Population Health Management and healthcare prevention - To allow discussion on effective ways to engage patients participation in ICPs developments Format: The proposed format for the workshop consists of a 60 minutes session as part of the main conference stream. The workshop intends to be a step in the ongoing process of reflection on ICPs research, implementation improvement, performance analysis and patient engagement. Timings and speakers: 15 minutes.
