Integrated Behavioral Health

Background: Limited research is available around patient experience of integrated behavioral health care in primary care settings. Objective: We sought to identify the major themes through which patients described their integrated behavioral health care experiences as a means of informing and improving clinic processes of integrated health care delivery. Methods: We captured viewpoints from 16 patients who experienced an integrated behavioral health care model from 2 primary care clinics and completed at least 3 visits with a behavioral health provider (BHP). Using grounded theory analyses, we coded and analyzed transcriptions for emergent themes. Analysis: The interview process yielded 3 major themes related to the BHP including (a) the BHPs’ clinic presence made behavioral health care more convenient and accessible, (b) BHPs worked within time and program limitations, and (c) BHPs helped with coping, wellness, and patient-care team communication. Conclusion: The BHPs serving in a large primary care practice and a Federally Qualified Health Center played an important role in connecting patients with behavioral health care and improving care team collaboration, both in terms of communication within the team and between the team and the patient/family.

Care Outcomes

The health care industry is evolving in response to increasing costs, poor health outcomes, and consumer dissatisfaction. Integrated care is a critical component of health care evolution, recognizing the particular burden of untreated behavioral health issues on both physical and behavioral health care outcomes and costs. Telehealth, the use of technology to provide care at a distance, is a flexible process adaptable to a variety of integrated care applications and models. Telehealth (telepsychiatry, telebehavioral health, telemental health) can help maximize limited resources and expand the reach of psychiatrists and other limited specialty providers. As evidenced in a strong and growing research base, telehealth can support integrated care, as well as forward its application in new and innovative ways across the integration continuum. This chapter provides examples of current telehealth supported care integration models along the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA)’s articulated integration continuum.
