The SAMHSA-Health Resources and Services Administration Center for Integrated Health Solutions recently released a guide to support safety-net providers across the country in gaining recognition under the National Committee for Quality Assurance (NCQA) Patient-Centered Medical Home (PCMH) Program. This resource outlines the new 2014 NCQA PCMH standards related to integrating behavioral health, including: a summary of the PCMH standards that have a behavioral health component; a description of the full set of PCMH standards in relation to behavioral health integration; and an in-depth “how to” review on how behavioral health integration can be operationalized within each of the PCMH standards.
