MULT 1401: Integrated Healthcare: Assignment: Your Major and Integrated Healthcare

When conducting research, it's important to match your search terms to the language being used in academic literature. This is a trial-and-error process, and it's normal to conduct multiple searches using different combinations of search terms.

Searching for "integrated healthcare and [other topic]" is a good starting point:

Integrated healthcare is referred to by many names in academic journals. Here's some examples:

• integrated healthcare
• integrated care
• integrated health care delivery
• collaborative care
• shared care

You may need to conduct multiple searches to account for the different terminology used to describe integrated healthcare. For instance, a search for "integrated healthcare and depression" yields many relevant results. A search for "collaborative care and depression" in the same database also yields relevant results, some of which may not have appeared in the first search.

This assignment requires you to search for peer-reviewed articles published within a certain date range (currently 2018-present). Our databases offer tools for these purposes.
