Ontrak announces the adoption of the Comprehensive Healthcare Integration or CHI, framework into its care delivery model. This advances Ontrak Health’s commitment to delivering high quality, integrated, whole person care. The CHI model represents the most comprehensive clinical framework for integrating physical health, behavioral health, and social determinants of health within care delivery. Developed by the National Council for Mental Wellbeing in 2022, the CHI framework provides a robust foundation for implementing and measuring the progress of integrated healthcare services. The CHI white paper explains, “The evidence strongly suggests that people of all ages living with co-occurring PH, BH and SDOH needs have higher health costs yet experience poorer health outcomes. Emerging evidence suggests that more coordinated or integrated oral, mental health and substance use treatment services can increase access to needed care, improve patient outcomes and potentially reduce healthcare costs. The evidence further suggests that populations with co-occurring PH, BH and SDOH needs are likely to benefit from evidence-based integrated interventions in whatever setting they are best engaged, with more complex and high-cost populations generally requiring higher levels of service intensity.” “With the adoption of the CHI framework we are unlocking the full potential of integrated care through our clinical programs,” said Dr. Judith Feld, Chief Medical Officer of Ontrak Health. “We are proud to champion the evolution of care delivery, harnessing the power of integrated care to improve patient lives.”
