It summarizes the published literature, information from case studies, and the authors' experiences from years in the field.  Written in a concise, user-friendly format which will guide you step-by-step through the implementation process. I wish that this book existed years ago when KP started the integration journey."

"Physicians know that clinical outcomes can be improved by managing behavioral health comorbidities along with physical illnesses. But where do physicians and medical practices start?

Kent Corso and his distinguished co-authors give us the roadmap in Integrating Behavioral Health Into the Medical Home: A Rapid Implementation Guide. The book is well organized and provides a brilliant set of new tools to assess which service delivery model is right for your organization, how to master personnel selection and training of staff members, and a step-by-step guide on how to achieve the return on investment required to get the buy-in from your practice stakeholders."

The authors provide a variety of forms to assist with selection of a service delivery model, develop a business plan, and evaluate return on investment.

 "I am tremendously excited to share this short book with all of my colleagues who are striving to establish and improve their own Primary Care Medical Home via integrating behavioral health—which means about everyone I know! The experienced authors achieve this book's stated purpose as 'A Rapid Implementation Guide'  with succinct practical summaries of key points highlighted at the start of each chapter and often followed by easily understood appendices. This book is well referenced and written to help all of us, from novices to experienced pioneers."

"Just in the nick of time with healthcare reform, Corso, Hunter, Dahl, Kallenberg, and Manson bring us an eminently readable, highly practical manual to guide the process of integrating behavioral into physical healthcare. Healthcare reform provides the guidelines, this book provides invaluable blueprints that can be adapted to your context. It's even occasionally funny! We live in a period of rapid change in healthcare; new financing incents comprehensive integrated care without providing guidance about how to make the care a practical reality. This essential book fills that gap—everything from integrated care models, financing, personnel, skill development, and exemplars."

"We all have a neck connecting our head and body. This means every aspect of physical health is influenced by our minds. Addressing either physical health or mental health without integrating the two leads to failure—something we can't afford to have happen. Integrating Behavioral Health into the Medical Home: A Rapid Implementation Guide is the tool everyone needs in order to facilitate truly integrated healthcare—a must read!!"

"As momentum gains to truly embrace patient-centered healthcare, this how-to book is an essential component of your performance improvement library. Use Integrating Behavioral Health into the Medical Home: A Rapid Implementation Guide to architect your medical practice into a medical home successfully serving the whole person."

"Integrating Behavioral Health into Medical Homes is a comprehensive guide to providing holistic care to patients. The authors have covered every essential question on team-based healthcare delivery: what to do, why and how to do it. The 'Bottom Line, Up Front' feature at the beginning of each chapter makes this well-referenced and evidence-based book exceptionally easy to navigate. An invaluable guide to the concepts and practice of integrated behavioral healthcare."

"Most patients who are depressed or anxious or who need mental health treatment start at their primary care office. Most never get to a psychiatrist—they are treated by their PCP. Adding an organized behavioral health component will improve patient care and provide support for the primary care clinician. This book provides an invaluable, specific road map for practices."

5.0 out of 5 stars
 
Excellent Guide to IC Implementation!
 
By Christine on August 30, 2016
 
This is probably the best book on integrated care I have read - and I have read A LOT. I'm so impressed with the depth and breadth, especially their focus on the business and finances (which is usually glossed over in other books). Best of all, it is entertaining to read! Definitely a great one for sites wanting to integrate.
