What Does the Research Tell Us?
• 70% of all health care visits are generated by psychosocial factors, if not by frank psychiatric symptoms (Fries et al., 1993)
• Per a national survey-32% of undiagnosed, asymptomatic adults would likely turn to their primary care physician to help with mental health issues while only 4% would see a mental health provider (National Mental Health Association, 2000)

What Does the Research Tell Us?
• A study of patients treated at 56 integrated care clinics showed greater improvement in hemoglobin A1c, cholesterol levels, and hypertension compared to patients treated at control clinics (Scharf et al., 2014)

What Does the Research Tell Us?• The addition of psychological interventions
for Kaiser Permanente patients with serious medical conditions resulted in: – 77.9% reduction in their average length of
hospitalization – 66.7% reduction in hospitalization frequency – 48.6% decrease in number of prescriptions
written– 48.6% decrease in office visits– 45.3% decrease in emergency room visits– 31.2% decrease in telephone contacts

Models of Integration
• What does it look like clinically?– Team consultation and collaboration– Timely access to services– Generalist approach– Brief, empirically-based interventions
13
![Page 13: Pathways in Primary Care - Safe Communities Madison-Dane · – Team consultation and collaboration – Timely access to services – Generalist approach – Brief, empirically-based](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022052017/60305d3e1112bd10677b1e56/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Models of Integration• Collaborative Care
– Patients screened for depression in primary care (usually using PHQ-9)
– Patients with positive screenings (usually PHQ-9 scores of 10+) are assigned a care manager
– Care managers can be• Bachelor’s level providers • Psychiatric RNs• Master’s prepared therapists• Psychologists

Models of Integration
• Care managers– Manage about 90-120 patients– Offer additional behavioral health screenings– Provide solution-focused interventions:
motivational interviewing, problem-solving, goal-setting, behavioral activation
– Offer triage to specialty behavioral health services
15
![Page 15: Pathways in Primary Care - Safe Communities Madison-Dane · – Team consultation and collaboration – Timely access to services – Generalist approach – Brief, empirically-based](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022052017/60305d3e1112bd10677b1e56/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Models of Integration
• Care managers support medication management– Have close communication with PCP and
Psychiatric Consultant• Enforce psychotropic medication compliance,
monitor for side effects, re-administer screening tools to assess symptom progression, etc.

Models of Integration
• Behavioral Health Consultant– Embedded behavioral health providers in primary
care– See patients same-day and for scheduled
appointments– Visits are brief and solution-focused– Consultation resource

Models of Integration• Behavioral health consultant can be
– Psychologist – Master’s prepared therapist
• Behavioral health consultant workflow– Patient seen by PCP for psychiatric symptoms– “Warm handoff” to onsite behavioral health
consultant on same day as PCP visit• About 15-30 min encounters
• Initial interview• Solution-focused, evidence-based treatment

Models of Integration
• Behavioral health consultants offer– 3-6 follow-ups (often linked to PCP visits)―Focal coping skills training aimed at referral
question NOT comprehensive psychotherapy―Bridge connection to specialty behavioral
health

Steps You Can Take Back to Your Organization• Screen primary care patients for
behavioral health symptoms– PHQ-9, GAD-7 demonstration
• Administer PHQ-9 and GAD-7 at med checks to measure treatment response
• Discuss results with the patient to refine treatment plan
20

Steps You Can Take Back to Your Organization• Assessing lethality risk
– In response to elevated scores on PHQ-9 item 9, administer C-SSRS
• C-SSRS demonstration– Helps determine thoughts vs plans vs intent– Use as treatment planning tool– Use to determine need for calling 911
