大量证据表明，药物滥用和行为健康问题是一个严重的公共卫生问题，并与一系列不良后果和成本相关，包括生命过程和职业生涯受损、工作效率下降、更高的医疗成本以及对他人的伤害。卫生保健系统在解决行为健康问题时遇到了缺乏工具、缺乏知识、过程多变和系统支离破碎的问题。作为一个持续的以科学为基础的改善护理和降低成本的过程，需要强有力地增加翻译能力，以重新利用健康提供系统来实现行为健康整合。将翻译能力与行为健康整合联系起来的逻辑是一个持续的共享信息过程，基于这样一个核心信念，即利用新的信息技术工具使人类行动可以增长知识，是解决问题和改善医疗保健的最有效方式。鉴于这些相互关联和相互作用的问题和障碍，解决方案战略建立在四层先前创新和验证的基础上：1.行为健康筛查(BHS)，一个全面的、经过验证的自我报告筛查和跟踪工具；2.BH-Works，BHS的网络服务软件交付；3.BH-Works门户，一个社区协作和行为健康集成中心；以及4.BH-Works服务、专业知识和专业服务，帮助社区提供者和医疗保健系统将行为健康整合到他们的组织和工作流程中。 这个项目的目标是用新的工具和关于其影响的严格证据在三个领域进行创新：1.护理过程；2.数据分析；3.信息分析。结果将通过我们的行为健康生态系统应用，基于我们现有的和不断增长的客户和合作伙伴网络，他们与我们一样相信，信任、行为健康和生活质量可以通过关系、最佳实践和协作知识的智能演变来实现。

Abundant evidence exists that substance abuse and behavioral health problems are a serious public health concern and are associated with a range of poor outcomes and costs, including damaged life course and careers, lost work productivity, higher medical care costs, and harm to others. Health care systems experience problems with lack of tools, lack of knowledge, process variation, and system fragmentation in addressing behavioral health. As an ongoing science-based process for improving care and lowering costs, robust increases in translational capability are needed to re-tool health delivery systems for behavioral health integration. A logic linking translational capability to behavioral health integration as an ongoing shared information process, founded on the core belief that enabling human action with new information technology tools can grow knowledge, is the most powerful way to solve problems and improve health care. Given these connected and interacting issues and obstacles, the solution strategy is built on four tiers of prior innovation and validation: 1. the Behavioral Health Screen (BHS), a comprehensive, validated, self-report screening and tracking tool; 2. BH-Works, the web services software delivery of BHS; 3. BH-Works Portal, a community collaboration and behavioral health integration hub; and 4. BH-Works Services, expertise and professional services to help community providers and healthcare systems integrate behavioral health into their organizations and workflows. The objectives of this project are to innovate with new tools and rigorous evidence on their impacts in three areas: 1. care processes; 2. data analytics, and 3. information analysis. Results will be applied through our behavioral health ecosystem, based on our existing and growing network of clients and partners, who share our belief that trust, behavioral health, and quality of life can be achieved through an intelligent evolution of relationships, best practices, and collaborative knowledge.
