WHAT IS INTEGRATED CARE?WHAT IS INTEGRATED CARE?
The systemic coordination of physical and behavioral care.
It allows patients to feel that for almost any problem, they have come to the right place.
It creates a holistic and seamless approach as opposed to a fragmented system with obstacles and barriers to care.
WHAT IS INTEGRATED CARE?WHAT IS INTEGRATED CARE?
A model of the “medical home”
Represents a “partnership” approach to primary care
Represents a shared learning approach for all involved
IBHP: “Integrated Behavioral Health Project” is an excellent resource (www.ibhp.org)

It’s very rural
WHY INTEGRATE BEHAVIORAL HEALTH AND PRIMARY WHY INTEGRATE BEHAVIORAL HEALTH AND PRIMARY CARE?CARE?Surgeon General’s “Report on Mental
Health” (1999) – acknowledged the role of primary care in the provision of mental health care
President’s “New Freedom Commission on Mental Health” (2003) promoted
integration
Secretary’s “National Advisory Committee on Rural and Human Services” (2004) called for integration
WHY INTEGRATE BEHAVIORAL HEALTH AND PRIMARY WHY INTEGRATE BEHAVIORAL HEALTH AND PRIMARY CARE?CARE?
“Institute of Medicine” (2005) called for integration
The “Health Resources Services Administration” (HRSA) designated the integration of behavioral health as a desired service to be provided by Federally Qualified Health Centers (FQHC’s) (2004 and 2006)
BOTH EXPERIENCE AND RESEARCH ILLUSTRATEBOTH EXPERIENCE AND RESEARCH ILLUSTRATEApproximately 70% of all visits in
primary care involve psychosocial factors. (Gater, et al, 1991)
Primary care providers are the de facto mental health and addiction disorder providers for over 70% of the population. (Kessler, et al, 1994)
Close to 80% of patients with depression go to their primary care physician first.
BOTH EXPERIENCE AND RESEARCH ILLUSTRATEBOTH EXPERIENCE AND RESEARCH ILLUSTRATEAn increasing number of primary care
providers have become experienced and skilled in the use of psychotropics
67% of psychoactive agents are prescribed by PCP
80% of antidepressants are prescribed by PCP
92% of all elderly patients receive mental health care from their PCP (Kirk Strosahl, Mountain view Consulting, 2003)
BOTH EXPERIENCE AND RESEARCH ILLUSTRATEBOTH EXPERIENCE AND RESEARCH ILLUSTRATE
Emotional disorders are factors in poor health, compliance, and levels of health care literacy.
Examples are many: DM (Stress, Depression), Respiratory (Anxiety), Cardio (Anxiety, Depression), CA (Depression, Anxiety), Kidney Disorders (OBS, Depression), Hepatic (OBS, Depression)
BOTH EXPERIENCE AND RESEARCH ILLUSTRATEBOTH EXPERIENCE AND RESEARCH ILLUSTRATE
Primary care has become the first line of treatment for mental disorders.
Integrated settings reduce the stigma of seeking mental health care.
A review of the expected changes in DSM show a shift to the Behavioral/Comorbid physical aspects of diagnosis.
BOTH EXPERIENCE AND RESEARCH ILLUSTRATEBOTH EXPERIENCE AND RESEARCH ILLUSTRATEMortality averages, for both SMI and SPMI
patients are 25 years earlier than the general population.
60% of premature death in schizophrenic individuals is due to cardiovascular, pulmonary and infectious disease.
Psychosocial distress corresponds with morbidity and mortality risk.
The medical community is becoming more accepting of integrated care.
BOTH EXPERIENCE AND RESEARCH ILLUSTRATE BOTH EXPERIENCE AND RESEARCH ILLUSTRATE Depending upon the county: ¼ to ¾ of
previous community mental health clients in California are now seen in primary care where their service needs are addressed.
Contracts and MOU examples are in IBHP data.
In a few frontier counties this figure is much higher (Integrated Tele-Psychiatry and Tele-Behavioral Health fill the gap)

INTEGRATED BEHAVIORAL HEALTH MISSIONINTEGRATED BEHAVIORAL HEALTH MISSIONProvide access to behavioral health services
and improve the physical and emotional well-being of our patients.
Improve/manage the behavioral health of the population through the integration of behavioral health care services into the daily provision of primary care.
Use prevention and wellness strategies to prevent the onset of a mental disorder or prevent recurrence.
INTEGRATED BEHAVIORAL HEALTH MISSIONINTEGRATED BEHAVIORAL HEALTH MISSION
Simultaneous focus on health and behavioral health issues
Improve adherence and compliance and build upon primary care team interventions
Example: diabetes care
Support self management and health care literacy

HOW DOES IT WORK?HOW DOES IT WORK?Close proximity of the teamEncounters are vulnerable to interruption
and are typically 15-30 min in lengthA schedule is no longer a schedule and the
average patient load per day is 9-12 (goal is 10)
Treatment encompasses behavioral aspects of healthcare: chronic physical and mental illness, pain management, and substance abuse
HOW DOES IT WORK?HOW DOES IT WORK?Behavioral interventions support
medical interventions within the behaviorist's scope of practice.
Interventions reflect an understanding of the mind-body components of disease: DM, pulmonary, cardiac, endocrine, CA, orthopedic, pediatric, geriatric, physical and psychological trauma, organic disorders of the brain, pain management, care-giver stress, grief and loss, the loss of primary functioning associated with chronic illness, and all aspects of chemical dependency and recovery.
HOW DOES IT WORK?HOW DOES IT WORK?
The clinician/behaviorist must understand (within scope of practice) psychopharmacology and pharmacology associated with pain management.
Understand and apply all DSM disorders for all ages and make immediate and secondary Dx.
Make on-going risk assessments Crisis intervention
HOW DOES IT WORK?HOW DOES IT WORK?
Interventions include, but are not limited to: •CBT•DBT•Narrative•Imagery•Stress reduction•EMDR•Mind-body interventions•Psycho-education•Solution focused•Developmental•Acceptance•And most important, compassion.
HOW DOES IT WORK? “THE WARM HAND OFF”HOW DOES IT WORK? “THE WARM HAND OFF”
What is a “warm hand off”?
Benefits from the PCP perspective.
80% return rate as opposed to 40% from a traditional “cold hand off”.
Same-day visits and reimbursement.
THE “WARM HAND OFF”THE “WARM HAND OFF”Benefits from the BH perspectiveExam room behaviors: intense, open,
honest, more informationDescriptive and honest language with a
motivational perspective helps connect and avoid labels
Perspective and flexibility: return is the goal
THE “WARM HAND OFF”THE “WARM HAND OFF”Basic components:
Provider preps and introduces the patient to the concept and goals
Excuses self to get the behaviorist and leaves patient with a questionnaire (screen) if necessary.
Provider returns and introduces the behaviorist and reviews screens
Transparency and collaboration
THE “WARM HAND OFF”THE “WARM HAND OFF”Basic components: screens utilized
“Mini” general screen for depression, anxiety, alcohol use, social anxiety and panic disorders.
“PCQ9” for depression (score can be tracked)
“MDQ” for bipolar disorders
“Epworth” sleep screen
Drug and alcohol screens
THE “WARM HAND OFF”THE “WARM HAND OFF”Behaviorist and patient discuss screen
results, reason patient is here and the behavioral options available.
Language and descriptors are very important at this point. Try not to repeat what has been stated before.
Language examples.
Provider returns to collaborate and all discuss treatment plan.

cessation, obesity, depression, anxiety, bipolar, grief, chronic pain, and substance abuse.
