Public Health Reports (PHR) is inviting papers for a Supplement on Program Collaborationand Service Integration (PCSI). The guest editors for this Supplement are Dr. Kevin Fenton and Gustavo Aquino. Dr. Fenton is the National Center Director and Mr. Aquino is the Associate Director for Program Integration, both with the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, National Center for HIV/AIDS, Viral Hepatitis, STD, and TB Prevention.
PCSI is a mechanism for organizing and blending interrelated health issues, activities, and prevention strategies to facilitate comprehensive delivery of services. A key benefit of PCSI is to maximize the health benefits that people receive from prevention services by increasing service efficiency through combining, streamlining, and enhancing prevention services; maximizing opportunities to screen, test, treat, or vaccinate those in need of these services; improving the health of populations negatively affected by multiple diseases; and enabling service providers to adapt to and keep pace with changes in disease epidemiology and new technologies.
