title: Community-based health care: a different approach to health outcomes.
abstract: Health sector organisations are undergoing a period of fundamental change. One set of changes is about increasing the capacity of the system to provide integrated client care. This paper discusses the practices that community health care workers have used to approach some basic issues of service integration. Although the discussion is about practices in community health, the issues are important for health care providers, managers and policy-makers throughout the health care system.
