Abstract
Behavioral health issues are common among patients with
comorbid medical conditions but often go unrecognized or
untreated, resulting in worse clinical outcomes and avoidable
medical expenditures. This column describes an innovative
telehealth solution that includes proactive and
targeted patient identification and engagement and nationwide
delivery of a technology-enabled, standardized and evidence-based behavioral health program delivered via
phone or video. A retrospective before-after evaluation of the
program demonstrated national reach, high patient satisfaction,
and significant reductions in symptoms of depression,
anxiety, and stress.
