How Behavioral Healthcare Informatics Systems Interface with Medical Informatics Systems: A Work in Progress

  • Chapter
  • First Online:
Information Technology Essentials for Behavioral Health Clinicians

Part of the book series: Health Informatics ((HI))

Abstract

Developments in the last decade show that behavioral healthcare informatics systems (BHISs) may interface effectively with medical informatics systems (MISs) and show promise for even more effective integration in the future. This chapter will provide examples of implementation techniques and current interface processes drawn primarily from developments in the Veterans Health Administration (VHA).
