Theresa Hush: 5 Behavioral Health Strategies for ACOs and Medical Group Models

1. Create models for behavioral health integration in primary care that the ACO/Medical Group can support with resources and data.
2. Adopt ACO/Medical Group technology, with data collection standards, to support Behavioral Health Integration.
3. Implement ACO/Medical Group Behavioral Health assessments and reach consensus on pathways to treatments and referrals.
4. Implement training curricula across all practices, including cross-training strategies between behavioral health and primary care clinicians.
5. Establish outside BH referral sources for patients that require specialized expertise or facilities, or care that cannot be provided inside the practices through behavioral health integration.
