An integrative care model is a challenge and the future of social and healthcare systems globally in establishing interdisciplinary cooperation. The integrative care model responds to the needs of patients suffering from various diseases as well as their families. Planning and policy making should involve professionals in both the medical and social care disciplines; additionally, the management and administrators of social and healthcare services, at both the national and community levels, are crucial in integrating health services. This article aims to present and describe the selection methods of functional groupings of municipalities as appropriate locations for implementing care practices for elderly, in this case an integrative social and health services model. The study employed an exploratory mixed methods design. The proposed methodology of the selection of the functional groupings of municipalities has a mixed-methodological character, consisting of quantitative as well as qualitative methods. Our research focused on quantitative data processing using two approaches: the multicriteria evaluation method to create a composite index and the ArcGIS system to express the geographical distribution of the value of the composite index. The qualitative document study was applied to analyses of community-based plans for health and social services. The methodology also includes an evaluation of municipalities, which was not the subject of our paper. Furthermore, the article suggests the need to consider other factors in connection with the methodology of the selection of functional groupings and explains some of its limitations in the discussion.
