Summary: This scoping review explores the use of information and communications technologies (ICTs) in delivering integrated primary care to patients with complex care needs. ICTs are found to serve functions such as information sharing, self-management support, clinical decision-making, and remote service delivery. The integration efforts are supported by ICTs in promoting teamwork and coordinating clinical services. Factors including patient, provider, organizational, and technological implementation are considered important for successful ICT-based interventions in integrated primary care.
