Subsequently, the designed model was deepened and, through Agreement GOV/28/2014, of February 25, the Interdepartmental Plan of Social and Health Care and Interaction (PIAISS) was created as an expression of the will of the Government of going one step further in the interaction between health and social services and the commitment to a care model centered on people.
In the Government Plan for the XII legislature, approved on September 25, 2018, the need to deploy a unique strategy for integrated social and health care due to the health and social needs of the population, especially for those people who are elderly or have complex needs. This strategy must promote personal autonomy and facilitate the permanence in the usual environment and the social inclusion of these people. To achieve this goal, it is necessary to reinforce the value of comprehensive and integrated care for people and the value of the efficiency and quality of the provision model, while promoting the fit of health and social services, which determines the desirability of redefining the PIAISS, which is replaced by the new Integrated Social and Health Care Plan (PAISS).
