Access Integration Model resources below:
- The CIHS framework proposes six levels of collaboration/integration. While the overarching framework has
three main categories — coordinated, co-located, and integrated care — there are two levels of degree within each
category.- It is designed to help organizations implementing integration to evaluate their degree of integration across several levels and to determine what next steps they may want to take to enhance their integration initiatives.
- SAMHSA’s “Integrated Care Models: An Overview” provides an overview of different models of integrated care and their key components.
- The “Collaborative Care Model” developed by the University of Washington’s Advancing Integrated Mental Health Solutions (AIMS) Center provides detailed information on how to implement this model, including care team composition, treatment protocols, and billing and reimbursement considerations.
- The “Primary Care Behavioral Health (PCBH) Model” developed by the American Psychological Association (APA) provides guidance on how to integrate behavioral health services into primary care settings. The handout could include a summary of the key components of the model, such as the importance of communication and collaboration between primary care and behavioral health providers, use of brief interventions and assessment tools, and development of a stepped care approach.
- The “Behavioral Health Integration Implementation Guide” developed by the Patient-Centered Primary Care Collaborative (PCPCC) provides a step-by-step guide for implementing an integrated care model in a primary care setting, including guidance on financing and reimbursement, developing a care team, and using data to monitor and improve outcomes.
- The “Behavioral Health Integration Toolkit” developed by the American Academy of Family Physicians (AAFP) provides a comprehensive toolkit for primary care providers looking to integrate behavioral health services into their practice. The toolkit includes assessment tools, treatment protocols, and resources for patient education and engagement.
