Article Synopsis
- A toolkit approach for integrating behavioral health services into primary care has shown some improvements in integration but not in patient-reported outcomes.
- The evaluation of the toolkit's implementation revealed high acceptability among providers and staff, with 74% openness to its use and positive matches to practice needs.
- However, notable gaps in feasibility and fidelity were observed, indicating that while practices supported the toolkit's use, actual implementation challenges remain significant.
Purpose: Patient outcomes can improve when primary care and behavioral health providers use a collaborative system of care, but integrating these services is difficult. We tested the effectiveness of a practice intervention for improving patient outcomes by enhancing integrated behavioral health (IBH) activities.
Methods: We conducted a pragmatic, cluster randomized controlled trial.
