Intermountain Healthcare - Mental Health Integration
Over the past decade, Intermountain introduced a new mental health integration (MHI) model, radically changing the way primary care is delivered by improving service coordination and quality outcomes. Through standardized assessments, a team-based approach, and ongoing training, mental health becomes a fundamental feature of primary health care and is accessible to all.

Who is it for?
Primary care patients with health and mental health issues, and their families - regardless of the complexity of health conditions or financing.
Why do they do it?
MHI solves common barriers for patients and clinicians: access to mental health specialists, support for shared medical decision making, connected social support, care management, and care delivery by trusted partners.
Impact
Results include improved outcomes for patients with depression, higher patient and physician satisfaction, improved management of chronic medical conditions, and less overall emergency department use.
