Behavioral Health Integration Workgroup

PCC convenes a behavioral health integration workgroup of diverse Members and key stakeholders to advance primary care models that are team-based and comprehensive — treating the mind as well as the body, while referring patients to specialists only when appropriate. The PCC is a proponent of both the collaborative care model and the primary care behaviorist model, which serve different, yet complementary, needs and has led efforts to ensure that behavioral health integration is a critical element for advanced primary care models, including PCMH. The workgroup convenes quarterly to identify and inform emerging issues in behavioral health integration and to collectively pursue strategies that strengthen the ability of health care systems to deliver high-quality, whole-person care founded on primary care.
