Support of the Whole Person

Integrated care means we can look at the whole person. While working with individuals enrolled in behavioral healthcare,we may also learn that they experience chronic pain.  A client could visit the ER multiple times a year for foot pain, and only be prescribed pain meds. By addressing their primary care needs, we may find that the foot pain was actually a symptom of diabetes; this allows everyone in the care coordination circle to support them with diabetes management, blood sugar checks, and diet.

Whole Health Care: Less Emergency Room Visits. By offering primary care to our clients, we can now coordinate care, address physical concerns and make significant changes in health outcomes like emergency room visits. Prior to integrating mental health and primary care, a client could have visited the ER more than 25 times a year. Through wrap around coordination of services we are able to get a client into respite or into treatment, and work together to help them stabilize in order to find housing – and ultimately not end up back in the ER. This is whole health care.
