Individuals with multimorbidity have complex care needs along with significant impacts to their functional health and quality of life. Recent evidence-based and experience-based explorations have revealed the importance of patient perspectives and functional health management in improving care delivery and health outcomes for individuals with multimorbidity. The impact of managing multimorbidity is evident at multiple levels of healthcare - the individual, the provider, and the system. Our local experience dealing with these challenges has led to the development of a functional health model that includes patient perspectives in care delivery within the Integrated Chronic Care Service (ICCS) of the health authority in Nova Scotia. In this paper, we present a discussion of the challenges, guiding models, and service-level transformations that have been integrated into care delivery at the ICCS to meet the healthcare needs of people with multiple health conditions. We describe our redesign strategies for care team planning, treatment approach, and patient inclusion.
