Integrated Behavioral Health and the Patient-Centered Medical Home

  • Chapter
  • First Online:
Integrated Behavioral Health in Primary Care

Abstract

The current health care environment is characterized by reform initiatives that aim to improve quality while reducing costs through practice transformation. This chapter will introduce the reader to the Patient-Centered Medical Home concept, accreditation processes, and key findings from pilot demonstrations throughout the country. We will highlight the requirements for the provision of behavioral health services in primary care-based medical homes and will argue that the recent inclusion of behavioral health in the medical home is a promising start with much room for improvement.
