Strosahl Primary Behavioral Health
Model
Goal is to increase effectiveness of primary
care providers in addressing behavioral health
needs of patients.
Focus on managing psychosocial aspects of
disease by addressing lifestyle and health-risk
issues through brief consultative interventions
and temporary co-management of behavioral
health conditions.

Self-care Objectives
Patient at the center and in control of his
health.
Uses a broad variety of techniques to attain
and achieve optimal health.
This is a fundamental shift in the paradigm of
health services currently focused on treating
disease and expects practitioners to work with
a patient to inform and support his ability to
guide his own self-care.

Advantages
Improve access to behavioral and physical health
services
Apply evidence based practices to improve client
outcomes
Improve provider communication and coordination
of care
Foster a multi-disciplinary team approach to treating
substance abuse with a co-occurring chronic health
issues (cancer, cardiovascular, COPD, depression,
diabetes)

Encourage self-care
Improve type and quality of services
Meet unmet needs
Increase cost efficiency
Address workforce issues and offer professional
advancement
Improve primary care physician ability to treat patients
with chronic mental illness

Key Activity Milestones
Administrators and clinical staff were oriented to the principles of the Four Quadrant Model
and how it interfaces and complements the Planned (Chronic) Care Model.
Written, customized integration protocols for depression, anxiety, substance abuse, sexual
assault, were developed
Assessment tools for depression, PQ-9, and substance abuse, the CAGE, were implemented
and are used at the sites.
One blended record at the primary care site.
Periodic provider team meetings held to address care coordination and collaboration issues
Scheduling, staff credentialing and billing issues were improved Successfully secured
DHHS reconsideration and approval for FQHC’s to bill MaineCare and be reimbursed for
services provided by LMSW-cc credentialed clinicians.
Clinician assignments to support the integration efforts were maintained, with 90% of initial
placements sustained throughout the life of the project.
Six Pines physicians have staffed AMHC’s opioid replacement therapy clinic since July
2006.
AMHC implemented an account management approach to working with the primary care
practices to ensure immediate responsiveness to addressing clinical approach, staff
availability, credentialing, scheduling, and billing issues.

Integration Barriers in Maine
Culture and Practice Patterns
Selecting integration model(s) based on practice
context
15 minute visit vs. 50 minute therapy session
Education of providers is silo’d and there is no or
limited understanding across disciplines.
February 9, 2010
21
Integration Barriers in Maine
Stigma and lack of awareness
Stigma associated with some behavioral and
physical health service needs is a barrier to
seeking and providing service.
Patient and provider lack awareness about
integrated care and the advantages.
Patients generally lack an understanding about
how they may be able to self-manage care and
advocate for integrated services.
February 9, 2010
22
Integration Barriers in Maine
Reimbursement: No reimbursement for
integrative (e.g., collaborative care and team
approaches), care coordination, and
preventative services.
