This grey literature reference is included in the Academy's Literature Collection in keeping with our mission to gather all sources of information on integration. Grey literature is comprised of materials that are not made available through traditional publishing avenues. Often, the information from unpublished resources can be limited and the risk of bias cannot be determined.

Individuals with severe mental illness are at a higher risk for medical illness and premature death and yet receive poorer quality healthcare. Often mental healthcare is the only care this population receives, thus models of integration are being explored. This study examined medical outcomes and care utilization patterns among patients at an outpatient behavioral health center where primary care was integrated with psychiatric and behavioral healthcare. A retrospective chart review of patients seen at the clinic both for mental and primary healthcare was performed and 147 patients were monitored over the course of one year. While medical outcome changes were not significant in the year after enrollment, primary care visits did increase, and emergency department visits decreased over the year analyzed. Decreased emergency department visits and increased attendance at primary care visits suggests this model of integration allows patients access to continuity of care and primary care services.
