N2  - 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.
