Discussion: Integrated Services
Complex cases often involve clients with multiple needs that must be met through various systems and programs. These types of cases require comprehensive plans to support clients through integrated services and interprofessional collaboration.
For this Discussion, review the media program "Barbara-The Human Services Professional: Chapter 5," which presents a family with many needs. Consider how you might plan integrated services for this family.
With these thoughts in mind:
Post an explanation of why integrated services and interprofessional collaboration are important for the clients in the media presentation. Then, explain your action plan to integrate services for these clients.
Be sure to identify the professionals and/or organizations within the planned network of integrated services, as well as their specific function.
