Fragmentation is a pervasive deterrent to the efficacy and quality of publicly-financed health care.
In particular, individuals with chronic illnesses and disabilities who require a myriad of health care services often receive inadequate care due to disjointed programs and funding sources. Much of our work with grantees and policy makers focuses on the integration of medical, mental health, and social services systems with public-funding sources. Redesigning community-based programs is especially pertinent today as a result of the Supreme Court's Olmstead decision. The Olmstead Project at CHCS is working with seven states to rebuild community-based programs to satisfactorily meet the needs of individuals with disabilities. Inc. All rights reserved.
