A Framework for Increased Coordination and Integration

The National Council for Mental Wellbeing and Bowling Business Strategies developed this toolkit in partnership with a group of national experts convened to help advance the field of oral health, mental health and substance use treatment coordination and integration.

This toolkit helps providers and organizations increase coordination and integration of services by offering practical suggestions, resources, strategies and on-the-ground examples for implementation of new care models across a continuum, ranging from cross-sector provider and patient education to full system integration. It provides innovative examples from leading-edge programs across the country about how to re-engineer traditional care pathways, especially given broader adoption of telehealth.
