B1: Innovations for integrated care in mixed public-private healthcare financing and provider systems
14:15-15:30

This is especially daunting for many Asian countries and jurisdictions in which many health systems are fragmented by pluralistic financing and provision. Instruments for integration are in development based on the five mechanisms of integration: professional, clinical, organisational, normative, and functional.
