To advance the goal of integration, the Department established an Integrated Health Advisory Panel with expertise in clinical services, medical care, policy, legal issues, and technology. The Panel will assist in creating a patient-centered system of care that includes prevention, wellness, treatment, and sustained recovery through coordinated care. It also will advise on issues impacting integrated care including research, data-driven and evidence-based practices; statutory and regulatory barriers; education of community providers; and expansion of and increased access to patient-centered delivery and information integration.
