Description
Several large health systems are now co-locating behavioral care providers (BCPs, Primarily psychologists and social workers) in the primary care setting, side-by-side with primary care physicians (PCPs). Research has already shown when a PCP can walk the patient down the hall to the BCP’s office, 90% of patients engage in treatment as opposed to only 10% of referrals today. This presages opportunities for psychotherapists who wish to participate, and this workshop will address how to anticipate, prepare and avoid the pitfalls of a new integrated behavioral/primary care delivery system.
Educational Objectives:
- Given the co-location of behavioral care providers, describe what kind of preparation would be required to participate.
- To describe the difference among collaborative, integrated and co-located models.Â
