As a healthcare professional, you understand the importance of meeting all of your patients’ behavioral health needs. However, physicians cannot do it alone. A team-based approach that integrates behavioral health services into a practice is usually more effective. To evaluate how your practice currently identifies and cares for patients who need behavioral health care, consider engaging the assistance of behavioral health clinicians in your practice, such as embedded behavioral health specialists, diabetes educators, psychiatrists, psychologists or social workers.
Implementing these experts into your practice will enable you to better serve those in need of behavioral health care. Stay up to date on practice innovations by subscribing to AMA STEPS Forward®.
