The general health integration framework provides an organizing roadmap that helps practices and policymakers redesign how integrated services are operationalized in Certified Community Behavioral Health Clinic (CCBHC) settings. It was developed in alignment with process and structural metrics to support quality improvement and sustain integration by creating opportunities for value-based payment arrangements. A learning collaborative of 19 community behavioral health clinics, including 18 CCBHCs piloted the framework and its corresponding metrics to explore its ability to advance and sustain integrated care. We’ll share key successes and challenges of integration.

Learning Objectives:

Recognize how a novel evidence-based integration framework may serve as a promising integration planning and implementation tool to support service redesign efforts for behavioral health clinics and state health authorities.
Compare how clinics performed on the integrated care metrics aligned with the general health integration framework from baseline to 12-months.
Receive practical implementation guidance and lessons learned with a focus on practice and policy.
