This program will explore three pilot studies to provide a model of care for integrating behavioral health within a pediatric practice. Using a PCBH model, a CoCM model and a study evaluating the importance of comprehensive screening, the value components of each care model will be presented to show improved patient access to behavioral healthcare, clinical or symptom improvement, and clinician and patient satisfaction. Identifying key factors through data collection can show program success and help identify trends or areas of need for further intervention.
