Comments on SB 5189

MARISSA MCGRATH wrote 8 months ago
This provider type is a key element in implementing the co-management model of psychiatric care. Community Health Centers have difficulty obtaining and efficiently utilizing psychiatric time, with referrals going to providers who could be managed in primary care. The BH Care Manager is a communication facilitator and I believe can be trained to do this type of work. It may indeed work best for mild to moderate disorders, freeing people up to provide intensive psychiatric care to more involved patients. I think we have to face the fact that we are utterly understaffed in behavioral health, and be more open to seeing who can provide effective care regardless of licensure.
