| Annotation | Health systems are subject to a number of pressures that affect their ability to deliver effective services, not least those stemming from ageing populations and the growing number of patients living with chronic conditions and co-morbidities. A number of countries have been exploring integrated care models as a means of meeting the challenges of changing disease burdens and delivering effective health care, as well as bolstering the sustainability of their health systems. However, there are many possible ways of promoting the better integration of care, with the use of (appropriate) financial incentives being one method to achieve this goal. Articles in this issue of Eurohealth examine some innovative integrated care schemes, including case study examples in Germany, England, Australia, Canada, the Netherlands, Denmark and the United States.
