The idea is that physical and behavioral health problems often occur at the same time. Integrating services to treat both will yield the best results and be the most acceptable and effective approach for those being served.” Hogg.utexas.edu.

APNA 29th Annual Conference Session 3032: October 30, 2015 Successes and Challenges of Integrated Care Many studies demonstrating effective integrated care target specific conditions in behavioral or primary care settings ( Alexopoulos, 2009; Hay, 2012; Druss, 2012; McGuire, 2009) Studies Demonstrating Effective Models • Alexopoulos (2009) and Hay’s (2012) studies had adequate sample sizes and demonstrated collaborative care management interventions that were more likely to result in depression free days for primary care patients. Intermountain Mental Health Integration Model • Dr. Reiss ‐ Brennan’s model promotes three essential primary care practice changes: – improve the detection, monitoring, stratification, and management of depression and other mental health and medical conditions; – reinforce ongoing relational contact with patients and their families to promote adherence and self ‐ management; – match and adjust treatment and management interventions if there is evidence of increasing complexity and/or inadequate patient response.

APNA 29th Annual Conference Session 3032: October 30, 2015 Role of Integrated Nurse • An argument can be made that for effective integration to occur, the same APRN needs to address both medical and behavioral health needs of patients. Role of Integrated Nurse • APRNs need to further develop the integrated care role and lead the way with innovations to increase access, advance retention and improve quality of integrated care. Nurses are already positioned as experts in integrated care. Competencies of Integrated Nurse Role • Core Competency Categories include: – interpersonal communication – collaboration and teamwork – screening and assessment – care planning and care coordination – Intervention – cultural competence and adaptation – systems oriented practice – practice ‐ based learning and quality improvement – Informatics.
