A practice with integrated behavioral health may provide its documented process and evidence of implementation. For evidence of implementation, the practice might demonstrate the practice's internal process for entering patient treatment notes, referral guidance and medication management within its system and how the integrated BH provider updates the PCP about the patient's progress. The documented process may also include how the practice facilitates transition to BH, such as through warm handoffs.
