Abstract
Integrated care models represent modern approaches to healthcare delivery that strive to offer seamless, coordinated, and patient‑centered services. These models foster collaboration among primary care providers, specialists, nurses, and allied health professionals so that patients receive comprehensive support across all stages of care (John et al., 2020). The central aim is to dismantle traditional silos in service delivery, enhancing communication and coordination between providers and settings to improve outcomes, raise satisfaction, and minimize inefficiencies such as duplicated services or missed care, while addressing physical, psychological, and social needs in a holistic way (Eamranond et al., 2022).
