摘要

This white paper outlines NCHHSTPs strategic vision for program collaboration and service integration, building on and refining concepts outlined in a 2007 green paper. This earlier paper presented a framework for service integration and introduced the concept of PCSI levels of integration as a way to conceptualize, implement, and deliver holistic, evidence-based prevention services and risk reduction messages to appropriate populations in clinical settings. As a document used to communicate NCHHSTP policy, this white paper defines and articulates a framework for conceptualizing PCSI identifies how NCHHSTP will work with internal and external stakeholders to accomplish relevant goals outlines key measures to monitor and evaluate progress describes how NCHHSTP will work with partners at national, state, and local levels to advance PCSI The primary intended audience for this document is state and local health departments, community based organizations and other domestic partners that are directly or indirectly funded by NCHHSTP. The document describes NCHHSTP policy, and thus has implications for other CDC units, federal agencies, publicly funded agencies and organizations, hospitals, community health centers, professional organizations, and private health-care providers whose management, program objectives, populations, sites, or services intersect significantly with those of NCHHSTP.
