About the Course

This study explores the application of the Collaborative Chronic Care Model (CCM) to improve healthcare coordination for veterans with mental health and substance use disorders (MHDs and SUDs) as they transition from incarceration back into the community. It identifies the challenges faced by veterans and reentry support organizations, such as lapses in medications, insufficient coordination between correctional, community, and VA systems, and veterans’ anxiety about reentry. The findings emphasize the importance of redesigning work roles, providing self-management support, and enhancing organizational leadership to improve long-term health outcomes for justice-involved veterans.

This course is based on the reading-based online article, Coordinating Across Correctional Community and VA Systems created by Dr. Bo Kim et al in 2019.
