A 2007 national strategic plan highlighted IPS and coordinated support between health services, social services, and NAV. Norwegian IPS shifted from a mental health service model toward coordination through NAV with resource centres, fidelity measures, and guidelines.

Concerns exist that Norwegian IPS may drift from the original evidence-based model, especially through weakened integration between NAV and health services.
