Key Transferability Questions for European IHSC
When analysing international models, the relevant question is not:
"Can we replicate this exactly?"
But rather:

Which integration mechanism addresses our biggest fragmentation gap?

Do we lack discharge coordination?

Do we lack high-intensity psychiatric teams?

Do we lack transitional medical respite?

Do we lack structured hospital–housing linkage?

Integration is modular.
Components can be adapted without replicating entire systems.
