About this Course Module
This presentation provides an overview for the rationale to integrate
mental health services, including those for PTSD, into medical and
primary care settings. The basis of this approach is clinical research
suggesting that large numbers of patients will seek services via medical
settings, rather than traditional mental health clinics. An integrated
model of care, based on a population-based approach where mental health
staff provide clinical treatment interventions in the primary care
setting, is presented.
Goal: This course provides a solid rationale and background for routine
screening and treatment of PTSD among veterans presenting in primary
care settings.
Objectives: After viewing the presentation, the participant will be able to:
- Screen patients for posttraumatic stress disorder in primary care settings, including use screening tools and make referrals for mental health interventions
- Employ an integrated model of care including that which co-locates mental health staff into the primary care setting
