About

The goal of this study is to identify outcomes associated with Behavioral Health Integration (BHI) that matter to patients, to compare changes in outcome over time to measure the impact of different BHI models on different patients, and to create and maintain an Integration Learning Collaborative.

Full description

Twelve safety net clinics have been selected to be a part of this study. The clinics vary on a BHI continuum level, which includes minimal collaboration, basic collaboration at a distance, basic collaboration on site, close collaboration (partially integrated) and close collaboration (fully integrated).

Twelve-thousand patients will be randomly selected from the 12 clinics to be invited to participate in the study. Patients who elect to participate will complete a survey at baseline to collect patient-reported outcomes and again twelve months later.

The Oregon All Providers All Claims (APAC) database will be accessed to analyze financial data regarding the patients at baseline and 12 months.

The hypothesis is that the degree of clinic BHI will predict patient outcomes.
