A Review of Integrated Care for Concurrent Disorders: Cost Effectiveness and Clinical Outcomes

Given the limited number of studies in relation to service delivery for concurrent disorders, it is too early to make a strong evidence-based recommendation to policy makers and service providers as to the superiority of one approach over the others. However, the available evidence suggests that integrated care models for concurrent disorders are the most effective models for patient care. More research is needed, especially around the translation of research findings to policy development and, vice versa, around the translation from the policy level to the patients' level.
