After sharing several case examples of health care for patients who have mental health/substance use disorders (MH/SUDs) in the current health care environment, this article describes the advantages that would occur if assessment and treatment of MH/SUDs became a clinical, administrative, and financial part of physical health with common provider networks, the ability to combine service locations (integrated clinics and inpatient units), similar coding and billing procedures, and a single funding pool. Because transition to such a system is complicated, the article then describes several process changes that would be required for integrated service delivery to take place.
在分享了当前医疗环境下为患有精神健康/物质使用障碍（MH/SUDs）患者提供医疗服务的几个案例后，本文描述了如果将MH/SUDs的评估和治疗纳入身体健康的临床、行政和财务范畴，采用共同的医疗服务提供者网络、合并服务地点（综合诊所和住院单元）、统一编码和计费程序以及单一资金池，将会带来的优势。由于向这样一个系统过渡很复杂，本文接着描述了实现综合服务提供所需的几个流程变化。
