Abstrakt: Behavioral health providers (BHPs) have long been incorporated into clinical medical settings, however, they have yet to be included in inpatient hospital settings. Inclusion of BHPs in this setting is logical given the high rates of psychosocial problems experienced by hospitalized patients and because BHPs can effectively treat psychosocial challenges, including mental health disorders and behavioral health difficulties. We worked to determine the feasibility of incorporating BHPs onto the inpatient medical team and to discover if integrating BHPs onto the team could decrease the barriers present in standard consult-liaison models of care. Researchers collected information on patient and provider satisfaction with BHP services and tracked admission diagnosis, reasons for referral, and interventions delivered. Results indicated that the integration of BHPs onto the inpatient team is feasible and reduces numerous barriers. The incorporation of BHPs onto inpatient medical teams can mitigate barriers experienced within the current consult-liaison model.
