Providers believed that access to care, utilization, and quality of care were the same or better than a year earlier and that the clinical review process was improved. Client severity was higher. Aftercare planning improved but gaps in services persisted. Integration of care improved. Administrative and management problems continued. Lessons for similar, more recent initiatives are discussed.
