| “Expanding the Bounds of Care Delivery: Integrating Mental, Social, and Physical Health,” NEJM Catalyst brought together innovative leaders and researchers to explore why current care and payment models discourage integration of mental health and social determinants of health with primary, specialty, and acute care. Three panels, including one led by Drs. Russell Rothman and Consuelo Wilkins, explored how society can redefine health and health care, demonstrate how some organizations have overcome the systemic barriers, and discuss building ecosystems of integrated care for entire communities.
