As a journalist, I have rewritten the article to provide a new perspective on the topic.
Healthcare professionals cannot meet all the behavioral health needs of their patients alone. A team-based approach that integrates behavioral health services into a practice is usually more effective. Therefore, it’s essential to evaluate how your practice currently identifies and cares for patients who need behavioral health care.
One way to better serve those in need of behavioral health care is by engaging the assistance of behavioral health clinicians in your practice. For example, you could consider hiring embedded behavioral health specialists, diabetes educators, psychiatrists, psychologists, or social workers. These experts can provide additional support and resources to help patients receive the care they need.
