This paper was commissioned by the Integration workstream of the NHS Future Forum. It discusses what aspects of care are associated with a good patient experience. It argues that the aspects of care that are important to patients are relational. Patients want to be listened to, to share in decisions, and to be treated with empathy and compassion. Patients also want continuity of care and smooth transitions. This requires good planning and co-ordination of care and treatment. The integration of service organisations is secondary. It is therefore important that any integrated care service must provide this care co-ordination at the point of use. The paper looks at the particular needs of 3 exemplar groups of service users: children with complex needs; adults with enduring mental health conditions; and frail elderly people. It also makes recommendations on various issues including: integrating mental and physical health; joining up local and specialist services; care planning; and medicines management and review.
