[Planning criteria based on types of health, social health and public healthcare services: trends in the development and adaptation of services and healthcare integration].
This article points out the trends established by the Health Map of Catalonia for types of services (primary healthcare, specialised acute care, mental health care, social healthcare, emergency care and home healthcare). The drawing up of planning criteria for the 2015 horizon includes the identification of a strategic vision for the healthcare model, the revision of healthcare processes and the adaptation to demand, the estimation of the health care capacity required and the proposal of territorial coverage objectives. Also included are planning guidelines for health services, in the context of ongoing change. Strategies and instruments for encouraging the integration of services are also considered, perceiving the healthcare network as a framework of relationships between professionals and services, which depend on continuity in healthcare and efficiency in the provision of services.
