[PC-BH-Integration] Measuring Integrated service at a med-surg hospital - eva

[Denise M. Dion]

Hello Lynne

I don't know how long you are able to see people in the hospital, but I wonder
if you might be able to use some simple and clinically useful outcome measures
to answer the question, "are people getting better as a result of these
behavioral health services?" For example, for people who are referred for
depression perhaps you could follow the PHQ-9 and/or the Herth Hope Index.
Just a thought. Denise
