Abstract
Integrated care emerged as a possible answer of the healthcare systems to the challenges related to demographic ageing along with financial constraints. Integrated care can be achieved by formal integration or from the combination and coordination of existing healthcare services. Irrespective of the possible approaches, integrated care demands efficient governance strategies in terms of planning and organizing care provision. Therefore, it is essential the existence of information (i.e., indicators) providing a comprehensive picture of the existing healthcare services, namely in terms of the quality of care integration. In this respect, the study reported by this paper aimed to assess the existing information indicators to support the governance of integrated care provision of the NUTS 3 Region of Aveiro, Portugal, by comparing their availability with other healthcare provision indicators of the same region. The results show that the indicators that are lacking focus mainly on continuous care, which means that the authorities do not have mechanisms to monitor, evaluate and improve the care integration, despite the respective emphasis in the political agenda.
