Optimizing the Psychiatric Workflow Within a Team-Based Care Framework
This paper describes a model of providing psychiatric care in the CBHC clinic setting that will improve patient outcomes and improve the work experiences of all members of the team providing care. It also clarifies the potential and often underutilized value to a CBHC of the fully deployed psychiatric provider. While the focus is on the psychiatric services, we acknowledge that this is just a piece of the overall team-based care approach within a CBHC.
