Mental Health, Behavioral Health, and Substance Abuse Services in Patient Centered Medical Home Practices: A Survey
Study Description and Methods
Through a survey distributed to all NCQA recognized Patient Centered Medical Home (PCMH) practices, we will assess the scope of behavioral health services offered. The survey includes information on identification of behavioral health conditions, access to behavioral health services and to and treatment procedures.
Specific Aims and Objectives
Our goal is to understand the current status of the clinical, operational, and financial organization of the delivery of behavioral health services within NCQA PCMH practices. In addition, we want to better understand PCMH practices’ satisfaction with the current organization and delivery of behavioral health services as well as the identification of obstacles to full integration of these services into primary care practice.
