Integrated care has been defined as: "a discrete set of techniques and organizational models designed to create connectivity, alignment and collaboration within and between the cure and care sectors. ... The focus is on patients' needs as provided by an interdisciplinary team." Meanwhile, according to Bell, "Using the term integrative medicine to refer to the merging of complementary and alternative medicine (CAM) with conventional biomedicine (combination medicine) is not integrative. Integrative medicine represents a higher-order system of systems of care that emphasize wellness and healing of the entire person as primary goals."

Psychology professor Keith E. Stanovich coined the term dysrationalia to describe the inability to think and behave rationally despite adequate intelligence. In so doing, he has attempted to answer the question of why intelligent people do stupid things. Stanovich notes two causes of dysrationalia. The first is that people tend to be "cognitive misers" who, while having the ability to employ complex cognitive mechanisms, tend to take the easy way out when solving problems. This often results in solutions that are illogical and wrong. The second cause is what Stanovich calls the "mindware gap." This occurs when people lack the specific knowledge, rules and strategies needed to think rationally.
