TL;DR: There is a reasonably strong body of evidence to encourage integrated care, at least for depression, and there is no discernible effect of integration level, processes of care, or combination on patient outcomes for mental health services in primary care settings.

TL;DR: Incentives that increased ability to purchase the preventive service worked better than more diffuse incentives, but the type matters less than the nature of the incentive.

TL;DR: This report may be used, in whole or in part, as the basis for development of clinical practice guidelines and other quality enhancement tools, or as a basis for reimbursement and coverage policies, and is not intended to be a substitute for the application of clinical judgment.

TL;DR: No single approach for grading SOE suits all reviews, but a more consistent and transparent approach to reporting summary information will make reviews more useful to the broad range of audiences that AHRQ's work aims to reach.

TL;DR: For integrated physical and mental health program initiation and outcome changing care to be successful, key components included a clinical and administrative champion-led culture shift, which valued an outcome orientation; cross-disciplinary training and accountability; use of care managers; consolidated clinical record systems; and active, respectful coordination of colocated interdisciplinary clinical services.
