Delivery of integrated care by interorganizational networks attracts much attention in Europe. Such care is required to meet the demands of multi-problem patients. Many efforts are made to establish networks. Often, established networks do not deliver integrated care. Managers must understand the background of this problem, in order to deal with it. The issue addressed here concerns behaviour control in networks of autonomous care-providing organizations. So far, publications have focused on behaviour control in single organisations. Based on empirical data we argue that, due to an essential distinction between networks and single organizations, behaviour control in the former should be approached differently. In addition, we discuss the implications of our findings for the management of integrated care delivery.
