Abstract: Abstract Throughout this chapter, barriers and challenges are mentioned, which still impede the radical cultural and systemic change necessary to implement integrated people-centered systems at scale. Given how long the interplay of body, mind, and social environment has already been recognized as essential for the health and well-being of people, it is at first glance astonishing that so little has changed in our systems thus far. However, upon closer scrutiny, the shift from patho- to salutogenesis represents a profound paradigm shift, which touches at the cultural, financial, and structural core of our systems.
