In this very readable text, Koman and Keane share essential lessons they have learned during 40 years of work in behavioral health systems of care. They describe why systems of care are needed, how they can be designed and operated effectively, how they can achieve good person-centered outcomes, and what the future is likely to portend. Excellent case studies and examples are provided at every step on this delightful journey. Students embarking on graduate training in behavioral healthcare will find this text to be very useful, as will system of care managers, clinicians, and consultants seeking to improve care access, quality, and outcome, while controlling cost. A practical text of this type is long overdue in the behavioral healthcare field.
