      abstract = {Individuals with severe mental illness (SMI) have greatly  reduced life expectancies in comparison with the general  population, with much of the excess mortality attributable  to medical conditions. Yet evidence shows that people with  SMI are less likely to receive standard care for medical  conditions. Integrated care, or the process of addressing  physical and mental health concerns together, has been  shown to increase quality of care of patients, as well as  reducing long-term health costs. As such, increasing  integration has been identified as a goal for a community  mental health center (CMHC) in a rural Oregon coastal  county. This DNP project aimed to assess the current state  of integration at this CMHC and to propose a workable  program design and evaluation plan for increasing  integration to best serve its highest risk members.},
