Speaker Disclosure  Dr. Botsford has disclosed that she has no actual or potential conflict of interest in relation to this topic.
Objectives  Learn how inter-professional team members can improve outcomes on chronic diseases impacted by behavioral health diagnoses.  Understand the impact of an integrated behavioral health program on outcomes in a residency clinic population.  Evaluate whether your practice could fulfill the requirements to bill the psychiatric collaborative care codes.
Effects of Depression on Chronic Illness  Recent Heart Attack  2x risk of death  2X risk of repeat MI  Diabetes  50% in death  30% in limb amputation glucose control 
Barriers to Treatment of Depression  Time to diagnose and address during office visit  Comfort level to treat  Lack of referral sources  Stigma  Lack of feedback from members of care team
The Solution: Integrated Behavioral Health  Components include  Ask everyone  Confirm diagnosis  Treat – medication and/or counseling  Team-based care with ongoing feedback loop  Universal Screening with the PHQ-2  Positive PHQ2  PHQ9  interview with DSM V criteria  PHQ9 or GAD score >10 eligible for referral
Collaborative Care: “IMPACT Care” Trial  2002 JAMA Study showing improved outcomes  Doubles effectiveness of usual care  Less Pain  Better physical functioning  Greater patient and provider satisfaction  More cost-effective  ROI $6.50:1  80 RCTs for depression in primary care (US and Europe)  Consistently more effective than usual care  Emerging data for anxiety, PTSD, ADHD, alcohol use disorder  Archer, J. et al., 2012
