Addressing Mental Health Concerns in Primary Care : A Clinicians' Toolkit

Addressing Mental Health Concerns in Primary Care: A Clinician's Toolkit is a resource designed to help primary care clinicians in implementing algorithms to help guidance in enhancing mental health care. Addressing Mental Health Concerns in Primary Care brings together a myriad of ready-to-use resources and tools on one instant-access CD-ROM.

Look here for screening and assessment instruments...quick-reference care management advice...step-by-step care plans...time-saving documentation and referral tools...coding aids...billing and payment tips...parent handouts...community resource guides...and much more.

Algorithm-based guidance, indexed to CPT codes, outlines a process for care and billing.

Succinct clinical tools provide step-by-step decision support for assessment and care of children with the most common mental health symptoms: anxiety, depression, disruptive behavior and aggression, inattention and impulsivity, substance use, learning difficulties, and social-emotional problems in young children.

Tools and resources can be printed and distributed as needed.

Many will be continuously refreshed through Web-based updates.

This toolkit is intended to enhance the quality of mental health care children and adolescents receive, whether in the medical home itself or through the medical home.
