title: Location of care for patients with borderline personality disorder: Challenges and opportunities in finding a home.
abstract: Patients with borderline personality disorder (BPD) represent a population with increased care needs and high provider demand, even in the best cases of quality integrated primary care. The current article outlines the complexities of working with patients with BPD in primary care, including when the transition to the specialty mental health sector may be warranted. Core factors around transitions of care (between integrated primary care and the specialty mental health sector) have been identified. These factors included suicidal ideations, psychiatric hospitalizations/conditions, physician consultation availability, behavioral provider availability, supervision availability, finances, and patient preferences.
