Using the Omaha System to Evaluate the Integration of Behavioral Health Services into Nurse-Led Primary Health Care.

Using the Omaha System to Evaluate the Integration of Behavioral Health Services into Nurse-Led Primary Health Care. J Community Health Nurs. 2020 Jan-Mar;37(1):35-46 Authors: Holt JM, Brooke KL, Pryor N, Cohen SM, Tsai PY, Zabler B Abstract Integrating behavioral health services into nurse-led primary care at one location ensures that individuals receive a comprehensive array of preventive and restorative services, based on their varying needs. A formative program evaluation of a federally funded behavioral health integration (BHI) project in a small nurse-led clinic used the Omaha System taxonomy to explore the changes in the documented practice of providers due to the BHI implementation. The evaluation provided evidence of the benefits of a collaborative care model to urban low-income, underserved, adults who were predominantly African American/Blacks.
