1. Moving the Needle: Toward Value-Based Integrated Mental Health Services for Patients with Chronic Medical Conditions
James G Baker MD MBA Associate Chair, Department of Psychiatry, Dell Medical School Systems Chief Medical Officer, Integral Care Cathy Stacy, PhD Executive Director, Department of Psychiatry, Dell Medical School

2. Why Collaborative Care?
Failure to address psychiatric and substance use challenges in individuals with other medical problems leads to unnecessary costs through avoidable use of emergency rooms and medical/psychiatric acute care
Separating psychiatric care from primary care/specialty services creates additional stigma and reduces likelihood of successful outcomes
An opportunity for mental healthcare professionals to train as a team in a contemporary, evidence-based model of integrated care

3. The DellMed Collaborative Care Model
An Integral Care psychiatric social worker is assigned to the clinic team
The Department of Psychiatry provides a consulting psychiatrist
Together, the social worker and psychiatrist help the clinic team develop person-centered treatment plans that broadly address medical, psychological and social needs

4. How the Seton-CHASP Grant Helps
Experts at the Meadows Mental Health Policy Institute consult to:
Assure fidelity to the model known to effectively and efficiently deliver quality neuropsychiatric care
