This document is the final output of a two-year, real-time evaluation of the DH integrated care pilots (ICPs). It is intended to provide information about the evaluation activities conducted, the data collected and the analyses completed, in addition to evaluators' conclusions about the processes and outcomes seen within the pilot period. It will be of interest to the DH and other policymakers, staff involved in supporting the implementation of the pilots, and other organisations looking to develop similar initiatives designed to integrate care.
