Integrative Care: Primary Care and Mental Health
The Integrative Care network is an online professional learning community designed
to increase the knowledge and implementation of integrative care involving primary
and mental health care across Wyoming.
Integrative care is the care a patient experiences as a result of a team of primary
care and behavioral health clinicians, working together with patients and families,
using a systematic and cost-effective approach to provide patient-centered care for
a defined population. This care may address mental health and substance abuse conditions,
health behaviors (including their contribution to chronic medical illnesses), life
stressors and crises, stress-related physical symptoms, and ineffective patterns of
health care utilization.
Network participants include physicians, physician assistants, nurse practitioners,
social workers, counselors and others involved in primary care and mental health services.
UW ECHO in Integrative Care is a collaboration with ÃÛÑ¿TV College
of Health Sciences Fay W. Whitney School of Nursing, with funding by a generous grant
from the McMurry Foundation.
