      abstract = {This manual presents the Case Management Society of  America (CMSA) tested approach towards systematically  integrating physical health and mental health case  management principles for nurses and other health  professionals involved with case and disease management. It  incorporates biological, psychological, social, and health  care systems, for the purpose of assisting patients with  complex health problems to regain health. ⁸ Patients with  complex health problems comprise approximately 10% of the  patient populations, their related medical costs are  inordinately high, and their success in regaining health is  low. To address the need to reverse these trends, CMSA,  Cartesian Solutions, Inc. and INTERMED Foundation have  collaborated in developing a training program to foster  collaborative and integrated mental health and physical  health care for the purpose of improving patient outcomes  and reducing healthcare costs. This Manual provides the  theoretical and application components for this training  program. The manual takes the learner through the steps  needed to begin mastery of the Integrated Case Management  approach. It consists of 12 Modules that cover the  integrated case management program, and also includes  modules on how to complete the INTERMED-Complexity  Assessment Grid (IM-CAG). This grid is a complexity  assessment tool which case managers complete for each  patient. When completed, the IM-CAG grid becomes the basis  for effectively integrating care support for patients with  health complexities.},
