  • The conceptual framework of integrated service networks is explained.
  • The specific context of mental health networks in Quebec is described.

    • Main Results:

    • Four organizational models for mental health integrated networks are presented, applicable to rural, urban, and metropolitan areas.
    • Models are visually summarized in four figures for clarity.
    • The proposed models offer a structured approach to network organization.

    Conclusions:

    • Successful application hinges on engaging all system actors (strategic, tactical, operational) across functional, clinical, and physician-system integration levels.
