Abstract
The aim of this chapter is to explore the most commonly diagnosed chronic conditions in Hispanics in integrated care, how these affect the Hispanic patient, and to illustrate how Behavioral Health Providers (BHPs) can work with the Primary Care Provider (PCPs) in order to improve the health of Hispanics living with chronic conditions while drawing from evidence-based guidelines, when available. BHPs can be introduced to Hispanic patients by PCPs through warm hand offs (essentially pulling the BHP into the consultation room at some point during the PCP visit) or referrals for co-located behavioral health for consultation. Once contact with the behavioral health is made BHPs utilize a stepped-care model. (PsycINFO Database Record (c) 2017 APA, all rights reserved)
