Integrated Care: A Guide for Effective Implementation provides a
detailed, thoughtful, and experience-based guide to the complex and
potentially overwhelming process of implementing an integrated care
program. The advantages of integrated care from both the clinical
and administrative perspectives are many, including better
detection of illness, improvement in overall health outcomes, a
better patient care experience, flexibility in responding to policy
and financial changes, and an emphasis on return on investment. The
book addresses the emerging framework of core principles for
effective integrated care, reviews the most up-to-date research on
implementation, and presents practice-based experience to serve as
a guide. This information is useful in both traditional integration
of behavioral health into general medical settings (often primary
care) or integrating general medical care into a specialty mental
health or substance use treatment setting. Because administrators,
clinicians, policy makers, payers and others need guidance in
determining what effective implementation looks like, the authors
offer a three-part examination of the key components of an
implementation strategy and explore the elements essential for
success. The book is grounded in the authors' real-world expertise
and offers readers practical, accessible information and support: *
Often efforts to implement an integrated care program fail because
the model is more than just "plug and play." To address this
misconception, the authors explore the successful implementation
from every angle-from leadership, primary care, therapist,
psychiatric provider, and policy perspectives.* As procedural and
institutional hurdles are being overcome, codes for integrated care
have been adopted. Accordingly, the book provides in-depth coverage
of finance and funding models, challenges to billing, and emerging
payment models. Each of the chapter authors were selected for their
direct clinical experience in various integrated environments,
their leadership in ushering teams through these initiatives,
and/or their deep knowledge of payment and policy barriers.
Impediments to the widespread implementation of evidence-based
programs include payment and regulatory barriers, lack of a
workforce trained in effective collaboration, and cultural
differences between the worlds of primary care and behavioral
health care. Integrated Care: A Guide for Effective Implementation
helps health care leaders and providers overcome these obstacles to
implement a successful, patient-centered integrated care program.
