This issue of Healthcare Quarterly includes the second of a three-part series developed by Ontario's The Change Foundation featuring international perspectives on health service delivery models that improve system integration and ensure seamless services and better coordination. Part 1 featured Chris Ham, chief executive of the London-based King's Fund think tank. In this issue, Geoff Huggins, director for Health and Social Care Integration in Scotland, discusses Scotland's experience and lessons learned after legislating integrated health and social care in 2015.
