Emerging data reveals that real-world integrated care provision often does not align with a specific model. Systems implement integration elements but struggle to achieve sustainable, transformational change. This presentation leverages systemic change management principles to facilitate customized implementation of integration key elements to meet population health needs. We will review processes to assess and manage system facilitators and barriers and methods to select, prioritize, and achieve key integration elements focused on population needs. Participants will apply these processes to develop a customized implementation plan for their home system, identifying next steps and longer range planning towards transformational change.
