The integration of behavioral health and medical care has emerged as a crucial method for improving health and reducing the cost of care. Integrated care offers solutions and advancements in healthcare delivery by improving access to behavioral healthcare, including scarce psychiatric resources, reducing stigma, and enhancing behavior change in everyday life.
As an emerging standard of care, policy makers, payers, and leaders are expecting organizations to develop evidence based approaches to team based care that can demonstrate health outcomes and cost savings.
