Advancing Integrated Behavioral Health Care In Texas And Maine: Lessons From The Field

Conclusion Texas and Maine are among the many states in which foundations have supported the establishment and spread of integrated care through grants, augmented with learning communities, policy advocacy, and evaluation. The evaluations related to initiatives that promote integrated care already reveal critical elements that facilitate successful integrated care and will develop more refined lessons as integrated care becomes the standard of care across America. Sharing lessons learned across states can accelerate the spread of integrated care until it becomes the standard of care. Related Resources Cohen, Deborah.
