Dutch term or phrase:ketenzorg
'Wat is ketenzorg?
Met ‘ketenzorg’ bedoelen we dat de zorgverlening bestaat uit een groot aantal onderdelen. De zorg wordt verleend door verschillende zorgverleners die allemaal, als schakels in een keten, onlosmakelijk met elkaar zijn verbonden en volledig op elkaar zijn ingespeeld. Een keten is een samenwerkingsverband tussen partijen die zowel zelfstandig als afhankelijk van elkaar functioneren. Bij de ordening en afstemming van de activiteiten staat de cliënt altijd centraal. Voorop staat dat de Stichting ZorgSaam bijdraagt aan een goede zorg- en dienstverlening ten behoeve van de cliënten die gebruik maken van die zorgverlening.
Het ketenzorgproces bevat de opeenvolgende stappen van hulpvraag tot zorgverlening.'
Explanation: In UK NHS hospitals, they refer to 'MDT's' (Multi Disciplinary Teams). For example, if you are admitted with cancer, your case will be discussed by a consultant radiographer, oncologist, surgeon, palliative care and senior nurse, who will decide what treatment is most appropriate for your care.
The term multidisciplinary team used in the UK includes agencies as well as individuals - which is the case with your definition given above, as opposed to Chris's multi-agency team. An "agency" is an official body. De Stichting ZorgSaam would be an agency employing other agencies and individuals in a multidisciplinary team care.
I was thinking of 'multidisciplinary care', and this is puzzling me, because simply using 'chain care' might also be correct ... but I am having a conceptual problem with the idea/image of a chain (i.e., sth Sequential) rather than multi (i.e., sth Parallel). Hmm.

Explanation: "Integrated care is when health and social care services work together to ensure individuals get the right treatment and care they need for their health concerns"
Explanation: It seems that the multi-agency approach (cf. Chris' reference comment) may take the form of either parallel or sequential care. 'Sequential care' seems to come closest to the description of 'ketenzorg' in your example. You might even consider expanding this to 'sequential multi-agency care' :-)
Another option seems to be 'continuum of care' as in the second and third example below (cf. also Tina's answer).
The current service configuration for dual diagnosis involves a multi-agency approach, with substance use and mental health services working either in parallel (providing care at the same time) or sequentially (one service provides care, then the other takes over). http://visit.lincoln.ac.uk/C6/C12/.../DD Module 15.pdf
Many health care patients receive sequential care from a series of vertically-related providers, such as hospitals, physicians, nursing facilities, and home health agencies. Several strategies have emerged to address long-standing concerns about efficient coordination along this continuum of care. http://www.business.unr.edu/faculty/parker/wp/ParkerWendel20...
The "Continuum of Care" for maternal, newborn and child health includes integrated service delivery for mothers and children from pregnancy to delivery, the immediate postnatal period, and childhood. Such care is provided by families and communities, through outpatient services, clinics and other health facilities. http://www.who.int/.../continuum_of_care/.../index.html
