The Power of Teamwork in Behavioral Health Care: Enhancing Physician Approach through Embedded Professionals and AMA Membership Benefits

Physicians cannot fully address their patients’ behavioral health needs alone. A team-based approach that integrates services into the practice is more effective in providing comprehensive care. To assess how your practice currently identifies and cares for patients who require behavioral health support, consider reaching out to specialists such as embedded psychiatrists, psychologists, social workers, diabetes educators or other healthcare professionals for additional assistance.
