Management of anxiety disorders in primary care
Many patients mislabel other symptoms as anxiety.It's key to rule out other conditions that can present similarly.
Given the ever-growing need for mental health care in 2022, we recently expanded our solutions beyond eConsults to offer a new virtual collaborative care solution — BHcare.
Today’s unprecedented demand for behavioral health and substance use services inspired us to build this innovative, practice-changing solution. BHcare enables primary care with a virtual psychiatrist to help deliver accurate diagnoses, treatment, and longitudinal management of patient populations using an evidence-based measurement approach.
The collaborative care model (CoCM) has been widely studied and shown to improve patient outcomes for up to 2x as many patients. Studies have also shown that $1 spent on collaborative care saves $6.50 in health care costs.
When developing our behavioral health solution, we studied the gaps in primary care that exist when supporting patients with behavioral health. We reviewed existing collaborative care models and found that they were built to support practices who operate within a fee-for-service framework. So when developing BHcare we built a solution to seamlessly embed a virtual psychiatrist into a primary care team, utilizing our technology that was designed specifically for our value-based clients.
BHcare is unique from other behavioral health solutions for primary care in the following ways:
Custom-built registry + collaborative workspace
A cost-effective, scalable model built for a value-based organizations’ unique needs
A trusted, board-certified, psychiatric partner dedicated to your care team who:
Enhances your organization’s clinical education and training
The increasing volume of patients with behavioral health needs is putting pressure on primary care settings that are unequipped to keep up with the demand. BHcare bridges that gap to support clinicians through an evidence-based, proven, and scalable model that we can adapt for your needs to provide better longitudinal patient care.
