Behavioral health partnerships work when outcomes are shared
Hear why seamless behavioral health care requires more than adding outside resources. It requires shared ownership of the patient experience and outcomes.
When health systems bring in external behavioral health resources, the partnership shouldn’t create another boundary for patients to navigate.
In this webinar clip, Dr. Sara Gotheridge of Array Behavioral Care and Earl E. Walker, Jr. of Bayhealth discuss why seamless care, and shared ownership should remain at the center of behavioral health partnerships.
Dr. Gotheridge highlights the role technology can play in making partnerships easier and less complex, particularly when no single health system can provide every behavioral health service patients may need.
Earl emphasizes that whether care is delivered internally or through an outside partner, organizations should avoid asking who “owns” the patient. Instead, both sides should focus on creating the best possible experience and care for a shared patient with shared outcomes.
