Summary
The University of Wisconsin Health system began a journey in 2016 to integrate behavioral health into its adult primary care clinics. Starting with 2 clinics, it will be expanding to all 27 primary care clinics by 2021. This presentation will explore this path, including changes that were made to the model to bring it to its current state. We will also discuss lessons learned about training/onboarding staff and clinicians as well as the importance of a training pipeline.
