ABSTRACT

Primary care systems are a mainstay for how many Americans seek health and behavioral health care. It is estimated that almost a quarter of behavioral health conditions are diagnosed and/or treated in primary care. Many clinics treat the whole person through integrated models of care such as the Primary Care Behavioral Health (PCBH) model. COVID-19 has disrupted integrated care delivery and traditional PCBH workflows requiring swift adaptations. This paper synthesizes how COVID-19 has impacted clinical services at one federally qualified health center and describes how care has continued despite the challenges experienced by frontline behavioral health providers.

摘要

初级保健系统是许多美国人寻求健康和行为保健的主要手段。据估计，几乎四分之一的行为健康状况在初级保健中得到了诊断和/或治疗。许多诊所通过诸如初级保健行为健康（PCBH）模型之类的综合护理模型来治疗整个人。COVID-19破坏了综合护理服务和传统的PCBH工作流程，需要快速适应。本文综合了COVID-19如何影响一个联邦合格的卫生中心的临床服务，并描述了尽管前线行为卫生服务提供者遇到了挑战，但护理仍如何继续。
