Abstract
Integrating behavioral health and primary care represents a significant transformation in the way that health care is conceptualized and delivered and is an essential part of care for patients with chronic disease. The movement toward integrating care has grown over the past two decades due to recognition that a siloed system of care, where the care of the body and the mind are artificially separated, was not meeting the needs of patients. There are a multitude of ways that practices have integrated care including co-located care, telepsychiatry, and team-based models such as primary care behavioral health and collaborative care models. Integrating behavioral health improves mental health and physical health outcomes, improves patient and provider experience, reduces health care disparities, and reduces health care costs. The current evidence base has demonstrated substantial promise that integrated care will play a critical role in achieving the quadruple aim of better health, better patient experience, lower costs, and improved physician experience.
