Initiative's Behavioral Health Integration Learning Collaborative Releases Report
New Hampshire residents will benefit from a health care system that integrates behavioral health into primary care, according to a report released by the New Hampshire Citizens Health Initiative (NHCHI).
The Learning Collaborative also included the identification and exploration of challenges in payment for substance use disorder screening and treatment. According to the report, the state’s current opiate epidemic highlights the need for better screening for behavioral health issues, prevention and treatment referral in primary care.
The research, conducted in partnership with 60 organizations, is based on a philosophy of shared data and shared learning that emphasizes the importance of transparency across all stakeholder groups.
Twenty-five to thirty percent of visits for primary medical care either originate from or have a significant related behavioral health component. Research also found that depression and anxiety with a co-occurring chronic medical condition increase cost dramatically.
