This paper provides a deeper understanding of the mechanisms underlying implementation strategies for integrated care. As part SELFIE project, 17 care programmes addressing multi-morbidity from eight European countries were selected and studied. Data was extracted 'thick descriptions' analysed both inductively deductively using theory. The following ten successful identified.
