Integrated care as a health delivery concept continues to gain momentum nationwide, attracting widespread attention throughout the medical community. Federal parity and health care reform legislation offers real opportunities for the successful implementation of innovative care models. Integrated, or collaborative, care can change the current practice structure for psychiatrists and provide a vehicle for payment reform that will benefit psychiatrists and the entire behavioral health team.
