Job Description:
b'About the Job/nThe Collaborative Care Model is a particular
model of care of primary care-behavioral health integration. The
specific model is based on the original work of University of
Washington AIMS center, described within the IMPACT model./nIn this
model of care a behavioral health clinician (typically an
independently licensed social worker or mental health counselor) is
embedded as a member of the primary care team. The behavioral
health clinician (BHC) is on-site, within a primary care practice.
The BHC evaluates patients with identified behavioral health
conditions, typically depressive and anxiety disorders, that are
suitable to treatment by the Primary Care Provider within a primary
care setting. The BHC can deliver evidenced-based brief
psychotherapies within the primary care setting. The BHC also
collaborates with a consulting psychiatrist (off-site) assigned to
the practice to review patients that may not be making progress in
treatment, have diagnostic uncertainty, or may benefit from a
medication initiation or optimization/xc2/xa0/nThe consulting
psychiatrist is a BC/BE psychiatrist with comfort in the ambulatory
setting. The psychiatrist may have background or experience in
consultation-liaison psychiatry. Comfort with using an electronic
health record. Experience in primary care-behavioral health
integration is a plus. Comfort supervising non-psychiatrists,
participating in care teams, effectively communicating with other
health professionals./nThe consulting psychiatrist participates in
weekly phone consultations and case-reviews with BHC. Weekly case
reviews are typically 60-120 minutes in length per BHC
(approximately 2 primary care practice locations), based on numbers
of cases. A BHC will typically have an active caseload of 150
patients, of which a subset would require review with the
consulting psychiatrist. Consulting psychiatrist documents
treatment or diagnostic recommendations within the shared EHR.
Consulting psychiatrist is available for additional direct
communication from the primary care providers as needed (i.e. EHR
messages, email, phone). Several times per year, the consulting
psychiatrist is expected to make on-site visits for case reviews or
education to the primary group. The consulting psychiatrist works
closely with the program medical director. Future directions may
include use of telemedicine technology to deliver face-to-face
clinical care within the primary care setting. Please send CV to:
