Prioritization of Mental Health Services in Oregon
研究了俄勒冈健康计划如何通过整合心理与身体健康服务、构建优先排序列表，减少对精神疾病患者的歧视，推动心理健康服务的平等。
The Oregon Health Plan is an approach to health care reform that increases access to mental health and chemical dependency services. A key feature is the integration of mental and physical health care. The mental health community had to educate policy makers about the importance of mental health and chemical dependency services. They constructed a prioritized list of mental health and chemical dependency services and interdigitated the list with the set of physical health services. The result is a unique attempt to develop a seamless health care system that minimizes discrimination against persons affected by mental illness. The opportunity to achieve parity for mental health must not be delayed or compromised; to do so would worsen the lives of persons already affected by the trauma and stigma associated with mental illness.
