The integration of care services and providers across the health-social-community continuum has helped improve the lives of many children and youth living with complex health conditions. Using environmental scan data, 16 promising multi-service programs were selected and analyzed qualitatively through a deliberative conversation approach. Descriptive data of analyzed programs are presented, as well as the thematic analysis results. An important program strength is its clear founding principles and engagement of patients and families. However, the scale-up of these initiatives remains a challenge unless such programs can be better financed and supported.
