Clinical Networks
The Acute Services Review (1998) in Scotland first introduced the concept of Managed Clinical Networks (MCNs) as a way of refocusing on patients and services rather than organisations and institutions.
It defined MCNs as "linked groups of health professionals and organisations from primary, secondary and tertiary care working in a co-ordinated manner, unconstrained by existing professional and (organisational) boundaries to ensure equitable provision of high quality effective services".
