Interest in
integrating traditional health care with mental healthcare has increased
dramatically in the past few years.
Fragmentaion of care into sharply divided medical care and mental health
care often leads to worse health outcomes since many medical conditions impact
mental health and mental health problems impact medical problems. Due to increasing evidence supporting the
need to treat mental health simultaneously with medical health, new models have
emerged that bring mental health clinicians into healthcare settings like
primary care. This presentation will address the promise that integration holds
in improving outcomes, decreasing costs, and enhancing the overall patient and
family experience. Using a case study in primary care, the presentation will
highlight various ways mental health clinicians can begin to work towards
integrating into other healthcare settings.
Finally, the presentation will address strategies to make payment more
robust in integrated care settings.
