"Healthcare leaders and systems today are using the terminology of integrated care without a full understanding of the foundational principles of integration," said Dr. Cara English, CEO of Cummings Graduate Institute (CGI) and co-editor of the publication. "This book intentionally speaks to the why, the what, and the how of integration. It is the answer to the question, 'Where do we begin?'"

Spanning 16 chapters, the book explores healthcare financing, quality improvement, health equity, trauma-informed care, healthcare technology, military and veteran health, women's health, disabilities, aging populations, family systems, and substance use disorders through the lens of the Biodyne Model.

Contributing author Dr. William Chum said:

"Treating symptoms without caring for the whole person directly contributes to rising healthcare expenditures. We would not fix a water leak in a house without understanding what caused it. This book helps behavioral health providers understand why the Biodyne Model should no longer be viewed as exceptional practice, but as the norm and minimum standard for delivering quality whole-person care in a healthier world."
