ECHO-Chicago: Behavioral Health Integration

August 6, 2019 to November 5, 2019

An estimated 25-30% adults in the United States have a mental illness; with higher rates among those who are publicly insured and racial/ethnic minorities. In the U.S., the primary health care system often functions as the mental health provider for many patients with common conditions like anxiety and depression. However, coordinated behavioral health care in the primary care setting is inconstant and barriers to to care have a direct impact on the patient's ability to manage both their physical and mental health issues. Untreated mental illness has significant economic, social, and personal costs in lost productivity, increased healthcare utilization, and increased morbidity and mortality.

The goal of the ECHO-Chicago Behavioral Health Integration curriculum is to create a coordinated approach to delivering mental health care within the current primary care environment at Free & Charitable Clinics.

Target Audience

This activity is designed for physicians and other healthcare professionals in the internal medicine, family medicine, and behavioral health specialties at Free & Charitable Clinics and those with an interest in improving the behavioral health of patients.

Learning Objectives

At the conclusion of this activity, participants will be able to:

  • Define the role of a care manager for behavioral health care in the primary care setting;
  • Relate how to enter and track patients with depression or anxiety using a shared registry;
  • Select the most appropriate common assessment scale to use for screening depression, trauma, alcohol and drug dependence based upon the environment, the given circumstances and available resources;
  • Learn about medication management in behavioral health setting;
  • Identify management tools, evidenced-based approaches to treatment, and community resources for treating mental illness in the primary care environment;
