    Comprehensive Health Integration Framework (CHI) is an exciting new set of materials for providers (adult, child; MH, SUD, or PH) payers, and systems to measure and improve sustainable PH/BH integration. Ken Minkoff and Katy Smali (co-developers of CHI) describes the 8 domains of integration, 3 value-based Integration Stages, and how to use CHI to measure progress. Liz Davies (Montana Health Foundation) describes using CHI to advance integration across statewide networks of rural health facilities. Joan King discusses using CHI with Oklahoma CCBHCs statewide. Participants will engage in group discussions with CHI users to learn about applying CHI materials to improve integration "back home."

    Learning Objectives:

    • Participants will explore the need for a new bidirectional framework for measuring progress in PHBH integration, in order to support sustainability and scalability of integrated services for all who would benefit.
    • Participants will identify the 8 evidence-based domains and 15 subdomains of integratedness, and recognize the specific indicators of progress for each.
    • Pafrticipants will examine the application of the 3 evidence-based Integration Stages, and understand how these Stages can reflect progress in improving iintegration and demonstrating value for programs at any level of development and resource.
    • Participants will identify a specific next step they can use in their own agency or system to use CHI to measure current baseline of integration and plan for further progress.
