Mind and body primary mental healthcare: new model for integrated services.
Primary mental healthcare is different from consultation-liaison psychiatry and behavioral medicine yet has elements of both. This approach calls for complete integration of behavioral health services within the primary care and general medical setting. Primary care providers, rather than mental health specialists, retain direction of patient care. In this model, developed at the Group Health Cooperative of Puget Sound, primary behavioral health clinicians are on site, not on call.
