Sharing a Playbook Integrated Care in Community Health Centers in the United States

This research, though based on slightly older data, illustrates to what extent community health care organizations are collaborating with other types of health care providers. The authors found that while sharing information between behavioral health care providers and medical providers was common, joint case conferences were less so, partly due to health centers not using electronic health records and/or having fewer behavioral health workers. The authors advocate for financial incentives and technical assistance to boost support of integrated care.
