This document is a guide for the Comprehensive Health Integration (CHI) Framework, which is aimed at self-assessment and quality improvement of physical health (PH) and behavioral health (BH) programs. It provides instructions for conducting self-assessments at the program level within organizations, emphasizing the need for interdisciplinary teams to ensure diverse perspectives during the assessment process. The CHI Framework is structured into eight domains and 15 subdomains, each representing critical components of integrated care. The document outlines the consensus scoring process for evaluating progress through three integration stages, detailing criteria for each stage and offering guidance on how to document scores and discussions. Additionally, it includes tools such as the Scoring and Notes Worksheet and the Planning for Advancement Worksheet to help organizations track their integration progress and establish action plans. The framework supports continuous improvement rather than solely aiming for the highest integration stage.
