Behavioral health integration (bhi) combines mental health with primary care for comprehensive patient care, addressing physical and mental health collaboratively, improving outcomes, and reducing care fragmentation.
BHI combines mental health and behavioral health services with primary care, providing comprehensive and holistic care within the same healthcare setting.
Behavioral health professionals work directly within the primary care practice, fostering communication and collaboration with medical providers.
Primary care teams and behavioral health professionals work together to develop coordinated treatment plans and manage patient care collaboratively.
Routine screening for mental health issues during primary care visits allows for early identification and intervention of behavioral health concerns.
Patients can receive on-the-spot consultation or treatment for mental health concerns without the need for separate appointments.
BHI leads to improved patient outcomes, increased access to mental health services, better management of mental health conditions, reduced healthcare costs, and reduced stigma around seeking mental health care.
