Popis: Integrated and collaborative care models, in which mental/behavioral health providers work closely with primary care providers within a primary care setting, help support the quadruple aim of improved health outcomes, patient satisfaction, provider experience, and lower cost. In this paper, we describe patients’ general perspectives of integrated care and their unique experiences accessing this care within one health system. Qualitative (interviews with patients) and quantitative (surveys with patients) methods were used to collect and analyze these results separately and together. The results highlight important features to the provision of integrated care from the perspective of patients using integrated care. They include the importance and experience of access, whole-person care and a team-based approach, the availability and use of telehealth when appropriate, having high quality mental health providers, scheduling and service usage suggestions, and means to connect with longer-term services for ongoing mental health care when needed.
