RT Journal Article SR Electronic T1 When Frontline Practice Innovations Are Ahead of the Health Policy Community: The Example of Behavioral Health and Primary Care Integration JF The Journal of the American Board of Family Medicine JO J Am Board Fam Med FD American Board of Family Medicine SP S98 OP S101 DO 10.3122/jabfm.2015.S1.150107 VO 28 IS Supplement 1 A1 Benjamin F. Miller YR 2015 UL http://www.jabfm.org/content/28/Supplement_1/S98.abstract AB Innovation in health care delivery often far outpaces the speed at which health policy changes to accommodate this innovation. Integrating behavioral health and primary care is a promising approach to defragment health care and help health care achieve the triple aim of decreasing costs, improving outcomes, and enhancing patients' experiences. However, the problem remains that health policy does not frequently support the integration of care. This commentary describes some of the reasons policy falters as well as potential opportunities to begin to influence health policy to better support practices that take an integrated approach to health care.
