Integrated behavioral health care is the systematic coordination of medical care and behavioral health services. Integrating mental health, substance abuse, and primary care services produces the best outcomes for people with multiple healthcare needs. This integrated system of care is best supported by health information technology, including an electronic health record and health information exchange, that facilitates the accessing and sharing of information across healthcare systems. This encourages communication and collaboration among all of the providers involved in a patient's health and improves patient outcomes and quality of care. This workshop will outline and explain challenges, and offer solutions for agencies that face this integrated process.
