Integration with Behavioral Health
Our chronic condition management program supports an integrated broad approach. Initial and periodical screenings for depression are routine components of our program. We encourage the identification and treatment of behavioral health disorders that may occur as a coexisting condition with a medical disease. Those who screen positive for depression are provided ongoing standardized protocols for assessment and intervention. Additional materials and support are made available to their medical health care professional, or a referral for treatment with a qualified behavioral health practitioner can be arranged.
