  21. Client Quote on Integrated Care Services “I have been a patient at JFCS for several years now and have received exceptional care. My life has improved since I first came here and I am grateful. However, since I was first introduced to Integrated Health by my peer navigator, the care I receive has become much more meaningful. Not just the behavioral health care, the physical health care I receive has improved as well. I say this because Adrienne has enlightened me to the fact that physical and emotional well being are inter-connected and cannot improve if either is neglected.“ - Anonymous satisfaction survey comment

  23. Social Supports One of the most important components of human resiliency is social support. Research supports the importance of social supports in health outcomes.

  24. Relaxation and Stress Management Classes Quote from a enrolled client: “The relaxation class helps me to cope with my problems better and helps me think in a more positive way. I really enjoy coming and being a part of this two days a week. I feel like it is empowering me, making me stronger as a person, more positive, and healthier in my lifestyle. This is a wonderful program.” - SF, Adult Integrated Health Client Nearly 60-90% of visits to healthcare professionals are either caused or exacerbated by stress for adults.

  25. The Relaxation Response Research shows the Relaxation Response is an essential resiliency self-management skill that is as predictable as medication in immediately reversing the stress-induced flight-or-fight response. -Benson, H. The Relaxation Response, William Morton and Company, 1975 Let’s Do It!

  26.

  27. Continuity of Care Document: A patient summary containing data of the most relevant administrative, demographic, and clinical information facts about a patient's healthcare, covering one or more healthcare encounters. It provides a means for one healthcare practitioner, system, or setting to view all of the pertinent data about a patient and forward it to another practitioner, system, or setting to support the continuity of care.

  28. Six Mandated CCD Data Elements: Header/Document Identifying Information Patient Identifying Information. Patient’s Insurance and Financial Information.
