The study pulled data from Medicaid-enrolled children between the ages of 3 and 17 who received integrated behavioral health care at three federally qualified health centers and six geographically proximal nonintervention FQHCs in Massachusetts that followed the “Transforming and Expanding Access to Mental Health Care in Urban Pediatrics” (TEAM UP) model of care.
The care model is a behavioral health initiative developed by Boston Medical Center and seven federally qualified health centers and focuses on integrated behavioral healthcare in historically marginalized communities, according to the study.
At the Becker's Fall Behavioral Health Summit, taking place November 4–5 in Chicago, behavioral health leaders and executives will explore strategies for expanding access to care, integrating services, addressing workforce challenges and leveraging innovation to improve outcomes across the behavioral health continuum.
