Since integration is a relatively new concept to all of us, including me, we thought it would be useful to create structured opportunities for us to learn together. In March, we'll be launching a Book Group.
Our first article will be: Recommendation for Integration of Chronic Disease Programs: Are your programs linked? (Slonim AB, Callaghan C, Daily L, Leonard BA, Wheeler FC, Gollmar CW, Young WF. Recommendations for integration of chronic disease programs: are your programs linked? Prev Chronic Dis [serial online] 2007 Apr. Available from http://www.cdc.gov/pcd/issues/2007/apr/06_0163.htm.)
Please join us for an in-person discussion of this article on:
Tuesday, March 2, 2010
11:30 a.m. - 12:30 p.m
CHB, room 128
Consider these initial questions for our discussion:
- Which noted barriers to integration apply to our bureau and how can they be overcome?
- How do we integrate while maintaining the guiding principle of "do no harm to categorical program identity?"
- In the recommendations for State Health Agencies, where are we already excelling? Where are opportunities to take action?
