Oct 27 2011: The future of healthcare is integrated care. In integrated care systems, there’s no ‘wrong door’ to care. If you visit your primary care doctor, she’ll assess your mood, your mental health, your alcohol and drug use. If you go to a mental health or addictions professional, he will take your blood pressure, discuss your weight and eating habits. Healthcare providers aren’t divided in integrated health systems, so they connect you with the help you need, and make sure each patient is receiving coordinated, quality care.
