The business of health and care

In this session we explore the business of health and care through the latest draft of the international concept model of health and care, focused on ensuring continuity of care across professions, providers and disciplines.

We start with an overview, then move to look at each main area in turn:

• What are health, health state, health conditions, threads
• Kinds of health condition
• What are care, care activity
• Mandates and responsibility
• Who takes part in care
