Annotation | An introductory article describes four commissioned articles which review the research on integrated models of long-term care and the rural implications of these models. Most models have been tested in urban areas or with urban population bases. Rural regions have both barriers and opportunities in implementing integrated long-term care. Although a full range of long-term care services may be failing to meet the needs of home and community-based care, rural areas may have better co-operation between acute and long-term care providers.
