Healthcare IT News: Tech can help address the behavioral health crisis, says AMA

A new report by the American Medical Association outlines the role digital tools can play in supporting the integrated delivery of behavioral and physical health care. The report noted several solutions that can support and add value to the behavioral health integration model along the patient journey, including incorporating evidence-based digital health solutions and enabling technology into standard workflows, expanding coverage and fair payment, and increasing federal funding. Establishing a relationship with telepsychiatry clinicians can empower providers across the care continuum with the support and information they need to fully manage the health of their patient population.
