Behavioral Health Integration Capacity
Assessment (BHICA)
Definition
The care that results from a practice team of primary care and
behavioral health clinicians, working together with patients and
families, using a systematic and cost-effective approach to
provide patient-centered care for a defined population. This care
may address mental health, substance abuse conditions, health
behaviors (including their contribution to chronic medical
illnesses), life stressors and crises, stress-related physical
symptoms, ineffective patterns of health care utilization.
Value of Integration:
Physical/Behavioral Integration is good health policy and good
for health.

Triple Aim for Populations
Our Goal:
Drive the Triple Aim, simultaneously
improving the health of the population,
enhancing the experience and outcomes
of the patient, and reducing per capita
cost of care for the benefit of communities.

What drives IHI’s interest in integration?
Poor outcomes and high costs for patients with
medical + behavioral comorbidities.
Getting to the Triple Aim will require addressing
behavioral health!
Changing incentives will facilitate this.

Research Project Aims
Understand the core principles underlying
successful approaches to integration of
behavioral health services into primary care.
Develop IHI’s approach to integration.
Identify how IHI can support organizations to
integrate behavioral health and primary care.
Research Methods
Reviewed peer-reviewed and grey literature and
materials from existing models.

Key Research Findings
Perception is that there are many different ways
to implement integration; we found that the
commonalities are much greater than the
differences.
– Collaborative care principles; strong evidence base.
Five-step sequence to integrate BH
Biggest challenges are business case and
operationalizing components into workflows.
Improvement approach is currently lacking.
Lack of integration outside of clinic visit.

provided
Who provides
service
1 – Acute Care
Continuous (during
hospitalization)
Hospital

2 –Clinic Care
Quarterly

3 – Community Care
Weekly; more than
once a week initially
Home, workplace,
community
organization
PCP; behavioral
health provider. Could
include group visits
Community health
workers; mobile
clinics. Could include
group visits
4 – Family
Engagement in Care

6 - Policy and Financial Considerations
Cost
25
Which states and why?
Variability in financial environment between states to
support behavioral health integration.
Some states may be more interested than others due to:
Medicaid waivers, Medicaid BH carve out, Medicaid
expansion / expected growth in Medicaid population, # of
ACOs & pushes for global payments.
We compiled a list of states with favorable markets for
integration.
Favorable States: AZ, AR, CA,CO, IL, KY, MD, MI, NV, NJ,
NM, OH, OR, and VT.

Five Step Sequence
1. Assess readiness for integration.
2. Develop reliable operations and processes to
support integrated care.
3. Develop the business case for integration.
4. Re-design care delivery using collaborative care
principles for integration.
5. Operationalize changes into clinical workflows.
28
1. Assess readiness for integration
1. Assess
Readiness
Assess readiness based on:
– Patient needs
– Clinic characteristics
– Policy & financial environment
– Existing data & measurement system
2. Develop Reliable Operations and
Processes to Support Integrated Care
1. Assess
Readiness
29
Leadership and culture
Access and workflows
– Technology considerations
2. Processes to
Support Integration
– Workforce: recruitment, hiring, onboarding,
and oversight of staff
– Workflows
– Seamless information sharing &
communication
Tracking patients and using data
– Continuous quality improvement and
outcomes monitoring
Space and supplies to support BH care
30
3. The Business Case for Integration
1. Assess
Readiness
2. Processes to
Support Integration
3. Make the
Business Case
Fee-for-service workarounds
Negotiate case rates with payers
Consider global funding strategies
and blended payment systems
Identify federal and state incentives
to support integrated care
Train staff to optimize use of existing
revenue sources to provide cost
efficient, medically necessary care.
4. Re-design Care Delivery Using
Collaborative Care Principles
1. Assess
Readiness
2. Processes to
Support Integration
3. Make the
Business Case
4. Redesign
Care Delivery
31
Develop interdisciplinary care team
Promote self-care support and family
engagement
Treatment to target
Stepped care
Systematic caseload review,
consultation & referral
Adoption of evidence-based guidelines
BH providers support healthy behavior
change in addition to screening,
diagnosis, and treatment for BH
conditions
5. Operationalize Changes in
Clinical Workflows
1. Assess
Readiness
2. Processes to
Support Integration
3. Make the
Business Case
4. Redesign
Care Delivery
5. Operationalize
Changes in Workflows
32
Fully implement operational
infrastructure
Sample change ideas to operationalize
collaborative care principles:
– Interdisciplinary care team proactively
manages a panel and chronic health
conditions and participates in care planning
– Coordinate care inside and outside of org.
including tracking referrals
Technological solutions when BH
providers are not available in person

on the care team, such as supporting behavior change
for patients with chronic disease.
Building out other layers of full spectrum integration.
