Aurora-based University of Colorado School of Medicine researchers established new recommendations for behavioral healthcare patients, according to News-Medical.
Here are five points:
1. The Eugene S. Farley, Jr. Health Policy Center and the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation released the recommendations titled, "Creating a Culture of Whole Health."
2. The recommendations call for the healthcare industry to not separate mental health and physical health into two separate approaches.
3. The researchers suggest policymakers and payers establish payment methods that support team providers.
4. Providers should consider establishing consistency across behavioral care delivery.
5. The researchers recommend providers share information about successful strategies, like telehealth, with each other.
