A Case Study on the Integrated Healthcare Delivery System in Xuhui District, Shanghai Best Practices and Implementation.
Article in International journal of integrated care. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Background: The "Six-Bed Integration" model in Kangjian Subdistrict, Shanghai, represents an innovative approach to integrated eldercare, combining three healthcare beds (family medical beds, rehabilitation/palliative care beds, and hospital beds) with three eldercare beds (home care, day care, and institutional care). This study explores the implementation challenges and systemic tensions within this model. Methods: Using purposive sampling, professionals (N = 15) involved in the Kangjian integrated care system were interviewed through semi-structured interviews. Data were analyzed via Colaizzi's phenomenological approach to identify key themes. Results: The study identified three key challenges in the integrated care model: (1) Structural barriers including Medicare restrictions, bed shortages, and unclear admission criteria hindered service integration; (2) Ineffective outreach to homebound seniors and digital disparities limited service accessibility and understanding; (3) Unclear stakeholder responsibilities caused referral disputes, with nursing homes rejecting high-risk cases and discharge-bed availability mismatches worsening conflicts. These findings reveal systemic gaps in resource allocation, communication, and coordination within the integrated care system. Conclusion: The "Six-Bed Integration" model demonstrates potential in bridging medical and social care but faces challenges in resource allocation, communication, and inter-institutional accountability. The study implies that optimizing integrated care delivery requires not only frontline training in coordination skills but also policy support to create synergistic mechanisms for resource sharing and accountability. Policy interventions must address Medicare constraints, standardize referral protocols, and enhance cross-sector collaboration to optimize integrated eldercare delivery.
