Integration: Pest Management and Veterinary Health

摘要

The concept of integration is almost always seen as a positive direction for application of health systems and other services. A quick survey will show that the word "integrated" leads the title of many strategies in the formula "Integrated 'X' Management." Among the many examples are Integrated Pest Management, Integrated Veterinary Management, Integrated Disease Management, Integrated Waste Management, Integrated Crop Management, Integrated Weed Management, Integrated Livestock Management, and Integrated Risk Management. The goals of the authors of these well-intentioned strategies include a variety of actions ranging from simply performing more than one tactic for the stated purpose to creation of a system of carefully balanced and inter-communicating functions.
