[PC-BH-Integration] Integration "Tips"/Advice

Thu Apr 5 11:32:02 EDT 2012

One of the best ways we have found to manage this (more recently) is to orient all new providers, nurses and behavioral health consultants on how to work as an interdependent team. We now do this in department orientation and through the use of "mentors". This is an expectation in everyone's yearly evaluation.  Also, if a team is struggling we provide direct "coaching" to help when they are stuck.

This discussion has been very important. Training behavioral health providers to work with general health providers is very important, but not sufficient to achieve the integration desired.  I refer you to South Central Foundation in Alaska, Joe Parks in Missouri and Cherokee in North Carolina.  The implementation of real integration is very hard work and requires training or other specific involvement of general health providers as well as their behavioral health counterparts in the process.  The people at South Central Foundation, an organization which has been widely recognized as a successful pioneer in this field,  will tell you they have been working hard at this integration for a number of years, and are still not satisfied with their status.  This is not a criticism of their efforts, it is  just an indicator of the effort required to achieve the desired result.  Training behavioral health staff is important but not sufficient for achieving the level of success desired.

Another great training  recourse is the book "Real Behavior Change" by Patricia Robinson & Kirk Stroshal.

In addition to the great training resources that have already been shared, the AIMS Center at the University of Washington offers free online training in integrated mental health. The training program has 13 modules totaling about 15 hours of content.

Are there online resources for training for people that don't have access to local training?  Also how about including psychiatric mental health nurses as these behavioral health specialists within primary care settings?  Nurses have the ideal biopsychosocial background.

Thanks to leaders in the PCBHI field like Blount Alexander and Kirk Strosahl, we have been in the process with Radford University Faculty in developing a BHC Certificate program for all disciplines of Psychology, Clinical Counseling ,and Clinical Social Work programs who have "bought in" to the importance of both academic and brief treatment/ clinical training in preparing future behavioral health specialist to work within primary care settings as well as seasoned licensed BH practitioners in need of the BHC certificate.

We also have found that training is crucial.  We have trained over 1300 mental health professionals to be successful behavioral health clinicians in primary care.  For the fall,  we have compressed our Certificate Program in Primary Care Behavioral Health into three months while adding available hours of training.

Training is critical-training on integrated care, training on how to practice in integrated settings and training about other disciplines on the integrated team and training on how to work as part of a transdisciplinary team-the stronger the training the stronger the foundation will be for developing an integrated care system that will truly change the face of  care delivery in the organization !

CIHS would like to share "Integration Tips" via a daily publication at the upcoming National Council Conference.

Do you have one (or a few), overarching tidbit/advice to share with colleagues around the nation interested in integrating care?

We appreciate your help and look forward to sharing your insight and experience with others.
