The commissioning process is defined in Partnership in Public Services as ‘‘The cycle of assessing the needs of people in an area, designing and then securing appropriate service’’.

Even though similar approaches are on the way in Korea, both structure and function for integrating health and social care should be designed to commissioning like in community.
