The American Medical Association Launches Behavioral Health Integration Collaborative
The American Medical Association (AMA), in collaboration with seven physician organizations, launched the Behavioral Health Integration (BHI) Collaborative. The goal is to promote the integration of behavioral and mental health care into overall health care, without a major overhaul of current workflow or significant financial outlays.
In addition to the AMA, the BHI Collaborative includes the American Academy of Child & Adolescent Psychiatry, American Academy of Family Physicians, American Academy of Pediatrics, American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists, American College of Physicians, American Osteopathic Association, and American Psychiatric Association. The YeaBHI Collaborative seeks to provide professionally satisfying, sustainable physician practice . . .
