The concept of integrated care is not a new one. For centuries, those working to provide care and healing to individuals saw the patient as an integrated whole – meaning mind, body, and spirit were connected and needed to be cared for in an integrated, wholistic approach. Due to rapid advances in medicine over the last century and radical specialization and technology – individuals have been seen more and more as fragmented and disconnected parts of a whole. Meaning, in our contemporary healthcare system, there are very few helping professionals (from physicians, spiritual leaders, to therapists) that take a wholistic patient centered approach to care – each attending only to the area of their focus/specialization.
