With the passage of the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (PPACA) and ongoing health care reform efforts, this is a critical time for the social work profession. The approaches and values embedded in health care reform are congruent with social work. One strategy is to improve care for people with co-morbid and chronic illnesses by integrating primary care and behavioral health services. This paper defines integrated health and how the PPACA promotes integrated health care through system redesign and payment reform. We consider how social workers can prepare for health care reform and discuss the implications of these changes for the future of the profession.
随着《患者保护与平价医疗法案》（PPACA）的通过以及持续的医疗改革努力，这对社会工作专业来说是一个关键时期。医疗改革中所蕴含的方法和价值观与社会工作是一致的。一种策略是通过整合初级保健和行为健康服务来改善对患有合并症和慢性病患者的护理。本文定义了整合式医疗以及PPACA如何通过系统重新设计和支付改革来促进整合式医疗保健。我们思考了社会工作者如何为医疗改革做好准备，并讨论了这些变化对该专业未来的影响。
