The Center for Health Care Strategies (CHCS) is conducting research and analysis to identify policy and practice innovations that could accelerate behavioral integration in California. This includes a particular focus on emerging collaborations between health plans and county behavioral health agencies that support population health management across separate financing and delivery systems for mild to moderate mental health, serious mental health and substance use treatment.
