Factors Consulting: Advice Seeking/Giving Coordinating: Separate, but Aligned Care Delivery Collaborating: Shared Sense Making, Decision Making Patient Problem/situation definable Problem/situation is complicated Identified as needing expertise of another provider Identified as needing professionals from different backgrounds to make sense of problem/treatment Clinician Clinician with expertise to answer patient care question Clinician with expertise carries out next steps/treatment Clinicians work together to clarify patients' needs Clinicians from different disciplines work as a team, conduct care team huddles and meet to discuss clinical care, close proximity of team, flexible schedule/time for warm handoffs. Practice Clinicians from different disciplines (often colocated) are rapidly and reliably accessible to answer questions System Support for communication between separate behavioral and medical practices Support for synchronizing (behavioral and medical) care over time Support for shared learning about and with the patient. Problem Discrete problem Definable, discrete problem Complex, hard-to-define problem that seems intractable to treatment and/or linked to medical or social problem Little uncertainty Moderate uncertainty or routine care need Professionals need longer dialogue to clarify best strategy to deliver and engage patient in treatment Information, when provided, allows advice seeker to act independently Professional has expertise to address care need Quick discussion positions professionals to act in loosely connected way Engages patient in treatment Name and Reference Description Coordinated, colocated, integrated61–63 A typology for design of integrated behavioral health in clinics featuring organizational arrangements along with some corresponding descriptions for how clinicians would interact in these arrangements. Five levels of collaboration64 A typology of escalating levels combining levels of organizational integration with levels of clinical integration and patterns of clinician interaction characterizing each level, or that are hallmarks of those levels (minimal collaboration, basic collaboration at a distance, basic collaboration on site, close collaboration in a partly integrated system, close collaboration in a fully integrated system). Standard framework for integrated healthcare65 Can be considered an elaboration and extension of the “five levels of collaboration” with more contextual information drawn in that in effect create alternative operating models for behavioral health integration, from less to more integration. Lexicon for integration of behavioral health and primary Care66 A national consensus functional definition of behavioral health integration: what functions are required, not an operating model or set of levels featuring both “types” and “levels” of practice spatial arrangements and collaborative relationships. Collaborative care model67,68 An approach for organizing integrated care that involves an arrangement between a care manager and psychiatrist working in tandem with a primary care team.
