The goals of Integrated Care: Working at the Interface of
Primary Care and Behavioral Health are to educate psychiatrists
about the fundamental shift underway in health care and to prepare
them to be successful and effective in the new health care arena.
The passage and implementation of the Patient Protection and
Affordable Care Act presents an opportunity for newly insured
patients and for funding models of integrated care, enabling
psychiatrists to have a more significant population-level impact.
The only book of its kind, the guide defines integrated care,
reviews the evidence base, and addresses the three potential
benefits of this model of care: improved outcomes, cost
containment, and enhanced patient experience (also known as the
"triple aim"). The new models of integrated care presented in this
book are population-based, which is the key to improved outcomes,
and they represent a change in how medicine in general and
psychiatry in particular will approach health care delivery moving
forward.
The book's features are both high-impact and user-friendly: -
The book is divided into two sections, "Behavioral Health in
Primary Care Settings" and "Primary Care in Behavioral Health Care
Settings," with Section 1 focused on improving the detection and
treatment of behavioral health conditions by integrating behavioral
health services into primary care settings and Section 2 focused on
improving the health status of patient populations with serious
mental illness by integrating primary care into behavioral health
treatment.- Each chapter presents a set of "core principles of
effective collaborative care," which serve as a guide for the
structure and provision of care for the varying models, regardless
of the setting.- Contributors provide dozens of examples that
highlight the impact psychiatrists can make in achieving the triple
aim of improved outcomes, cost containment, and enhanced
experience.- Detailed case vignettes integrated throughout the book
bring concepts to life and help clinicians to understand and
improve the patient-provider relationship.
The information presented in these chapters allows both
practicing psychiatrists and those in training to develop a skill
set essential to designing, working in, teaching, or promoting an
integrated care program within a health care system. Evidence based
and timely, Integrated Care: Working at the Interface of Primary
Care and Behavioral Health is a must read for clinicians in the
brave new world of health care reform.
