Integrated Care

This book will be of huge value to psychiatrists, primary care physicians, and clinical staff of all disciplines; administrators; and state government officials. Most of all, it will benefit those who need our care so desperately and do not have adequate access. Marie Hobart, MD, Psychiatric Services Integrated Care: Working at the Interface of Primary and Behavioral Health, a new book from American Psychiatric Publishing, brings together two sides of the interface -- with hands-on, how-to advice for psychiatrists serving as consultants to primary care as well as working to improve the health status of patients with serious mental illness in community mental health centers. Mark Moran, Psychiatric News This excellent, very practical book reads as though you're sitting in an APA symposium... Each chapter has a unique voice and something special to offer. All in all, whether you're enthusiastic about practicing integrated care or reluctant lifting your head out of the sand wondering what's coming to a health home near you, this book is worth a read. Mark Ragins, MD, American Journal of Psychiatry If you are a psychiatrist or behavioral health professional involved with designing, implementing, or being hired to work within an integrated care model, buy and read this book! It provides well referenced, practical information on integrated care programs. -- Anita S.
