I am the Quality Care Director for Arkansas Primary Care Clinics. I oversee all CMS, Value Based, and ACO programs. One such program was Comprehensive Primary Care. One of the objectives of the program was to integrate behavioral health in the primary care setting. We tried several things to meet the objective:

1. Referring program
2. Collaborative with a behavioral health agency
