Summary
The Practice Integration Profile (PIP) is a 30-item measure of behavioral health integration in primary care. The PIP provides an evaluation of clinical structures and processes thought to be important in integration and has demonstrated reliability and validity. While development of the PIP was informed by the AHRQ’s Lexicon of Collaborative Care, it remains unclear whether clinicians’ perception of integration is congruent with the framework underlying the PIP. This presentation will discuss results from a qualitative study examining providers’ conceptual understanding and interpretation of PIP items.
