The knowledge base surrounding physical heath behavioral health integration (PHBHI) has expanded in recent years. We’ll examine research defining different methods or models of service delivery and delineating tools and procedures/processes that support these models, evidence demonstrating improved outcomes and value for diverse populations in multiple settings and expanded understanding of facilitators and barriers to implementing PHBHI in different types of programs, practices and organizations.
Learning Objectives:

Discuss how to use the integration framework to assess the “integratedness” of a particular program.
Categorize which integration construct is currently the closest fit for their organization.
List at least three performance measures specific to integration operational and visible within your organization.
