This article reports the results of research on a single, urban system of health and human services delivery for clients with serious mental illness. The primary focus was to examine how collaboration and services integration among the more than 40 mostly nonprofit provider agencies were affected by the introduction of managed care. A critical factor in explaining the results was the role of the behavioral health authority in implementing and managing the system.
