Integrated Primary Care

This book offers a concise, clinically focused overview of

integrated primary care (IPC) in which theories and models of IPC

are reviewed alongside evidence of its effectiveness. The authors

provide practical guidance on the implementation of IPC in various

settings including strategies to form collaborative relationships

with members of primary care teams. They propose key

competencies and evidence-based clinical skills necessary to

function in IPC settings and present useful resources and

worksheets for patient care, all while relaying depictions of routine

days for behavioral health providers in IPC. This volume is crucial

for behavioral health providers who seek insight and direction on

how to best operate in various IPC environments.
