Behavioral Health Integrated Support Network (BHISN)

CONCLUSION: The Virtual Medical Center-Europe, Army Europe Behavioral Health, and Substance Use leadership work collaboratively to plan and optimize program performance. For BHISN to function as intended requires key dedicated support staff, such as mental health and social services assistants to screen and coordinate virtual care. Scheduling can be performed by a central cell requiring clinics to relinquish some local control in the interest of meeting patient demand in large and diverse area that covers three continents. BHISN shows promising initial success by providing a process of managing demand and connecting requests for behavioral health and substance use care leveraging capacity from all clinics using a virtual video service in a diverse operating environment.PMID:37738666 | DOI:10.1093/milmed/usad351
