Resources For Integrated Care

Providing self-management support (SMS) is a key activity for health care providers seeking to deliver integrated, high quality health care. For many providers, supporting self-management involves a paradigm shift away from the traditional medical model towards a shared decision-making model for encounters with clients. It means staff and organizations must structure and deliver care in ways that honors individuals’ perspectives on their health care, treatment, and relationships with providers. These podcasts, excerpted from a July 2017 webinar, focus on assessing an organization’s ability to support client self-management, highlighting the Self-Management Support Organizational Assessment Tool (SMS OAT).
