This paper focuses on a co-ordinated service delivery model – the ‘house of care’ – that aims to deliver proactive, holistic and patient-centred care for people with long-term conditions.
The house of care model differs from others by encompassing all people with long-term conditions and assuming an active role for patients. This paper calls on the Department of Health and NHS England to collaborate on a coherent approach to care planning for people with long-term conditions.
