Integration Policy Initiative Report

November 15, 2012

The Integration Policy Initiative (IPI) builds on the significant work already underway in California, incorporating models developed in California and nationally that are intended to improve general healthcare, primary care, the integration of mental health (MH) and substance use (SU) services with primary care and the integration of primary healthcare with MH and SU services. There are tensions among these systems in California, as there are in other parts of the country— the legacy of many years of working in silos as well as a chronic lack of funding.
