FACTORS IMPACTING LONG-TERM QUALITY OF CARE:

• Case Management
• Higher Treatment Compliance
• Short-Term Therapy  
  
• Brief Interventions
• Preventive Care
• Continuity of Care
• Communication & Care Coordination

‘Patient Care’ defined:
Longitudinal, relational, and continuous patient engagement;
A sense of responsibility to care for the community; 
With logical, timely, & coherent service delivery
And professional dedication to wellness.

We have adopted a system of care integrating medical and substance abuse treatment services with the aim to positively impact the lives of the communities we serve—by making holistic, 360°, healthcare accessible, affordable, and comprehensible.

Benefits of integrated care include reduced cost, greater continuity of care, stigma reduction, a more robust match between diagnosis and treatment programs, centrality of care provisions, greater degree and ease of accessibility to health care information, coordinated treatment, multifaceted treatment, and an overall emphasis on the care seeker's well-being.

The fundamental unit of measurement by which integration and continuity can be assessed  is ultimately: the individual.
