This session describes the development of an integrated behavioral health program in a large primary care clinic over the course of two years from initial implementation. We describe iterative developments over the course of the program, barriers and facilitators to program implementation, and perceived impact of the program as measured by the Practice Integration Profile. Target audience is primary care providers, administrators, and staff who have either recently or will soon implement an integrated behavioral health program and will learn how to apply and measure the impact of their program over time.
