Modern healthcare requires behavioral health services. Patient demand for mental health care is at an all time high. Primary care providers are burned out and need support to care for their patients. Systems who ignore behavioral health do so at their peril. Physicians with behavioral health operations expertise are rare but transformational. I have extensive experience designing, implementing, and optimizing behavioral services across diverse landscapes of care. I will work with your leaders, operators, clinicians, and stakeholders to deliver the right solutions.
Healthcare systems need proven leadership and expertise to deliver behavioral health.
Primary Care Psychiatric Consultation
Collaborative Care Model
The Collaborative Care model (CoC) is an evidenced-based primary care behavioral health integration program. CoC leverages psychiatry consultation into the primary care setting. I implemented this program for over 100 PCPs and thousands of patients.
Direct & Indirect Consults
Direct consults are live psychiatrist to PCP consultations. Indirect or E-consults are asynchronous consultations where the psychiatrist reviews available chart data and responds to the PCP's consult question with a documented response. I can help with design or direct service.
Training & Education
PCPs with the right training can at perform top of scope, deliver great care, and be resilient to burnout. I can provide live seminars or pre-recorded modules to meet PCPs where they are and empower their psychiatric care abilities.
Behavioral Health Leadership Consulting
Programs & Strategy
Clinics need the right solutions to meet their patient and clinician needs. Leaders need the right care model and programs to create access, steward resources, and achieve organizational objectives. I can help align strategy, identify the opportunities and build on your strengths.
Operations Performance
Behavioral Health a loss leader? Not on my watch. Great care should also yield great returns. Year over year my teams delivered on the mission and the margin. From payor mix & coding to utilization & HCC capture, I'll help your clinicians and operators improve efficiency and value.
Telehealth & Digital Innovations
Telebehavioral health is now the standard. Digital behavioral health is the future. My teams provided tens of thousands of virtual visits a year. I can help your IT develop virtual care, clinical digital services like E-visits and E-consults. Let's partner on your AI initiative.
Administrative Psychiatry Consulting
Quality & Peer Review
Clinicians need the right behavioral measures to take care of patients and show their work. Clinics need to know their clinicians are providing high quality care. I can help you implement the right clinical tools, ensure standard of care, and advise in peer review.
Patient Safety & Risk
Ensuring safety and minimizing risk are top priorities for medical practices but often expertise in behavioral cases is lacking. I can help your leaders and risk managers think through root cause analysis, identify vulnerabilities, and intervene appropriately.
Expert Witness
Mental healthcare expertise is hard to find, especially when it comes to the interface of medicine and the legal system. I can help with case consultation, chart review, and expert witness deposition.
