Care Management Model

Date of Publication:

8/8/2013

Definition:

A population-based model of care focused on a discrete clinical problem (e.g., depression). It incorporates specific pathways using a variety of components that systematically and comprehensively address how behavioral health problems are managed in the primary care setting. Primary care manager (PCM) and behavioral health care facilitator (BHCF) share information regarding patients and there is a shared medical record, treatment plan, and standard of care. Typically, there is some form of systematic interface with specialty care (e.g. weekly case review and treatment change recommendations).
