3. Evidence as a Tool for Change
Economic and outcome evidence strengthen advocacy.
Examples of measurable indicators:
EMERGENCY DEPARTMENT REVISIT RATES
LENGTH OF INPATIENT STAY
HOUSING STABILITY RATES
TREATMENT ADHERENCE
CRISIS INTERVENTION FREQUENCY
When data show that integrated approaches:
Reduce system strain
Improve continuity
Lower long-term expenditure
Advocacy becomes more persuasive.
Integrated care is supported not only by ethical arguments, but also by economic logic.
