Bringing collaborative psychiatric expertise into the medical practice.
Our CoCM program supports a team-based approach that connects primary care providers, behavioral health care managers, and psychiatric consultants.
What our CoCM program does.
Best for: patients with qualifying behavioral health conditions who benefit from psychiatric input.
- Integrate primary care providers, behavioral health care managers, and psychiatric consultants.
- Implement structured, measurement-based behavioral health treatment.
- Track patient progress through standardized assessment tools.
- Facilitate psychiatric consultation and treatment recommendations.
- Support treatment adjustments and ongoing patient follow-up.
- Expand access to coordinated behavioral healthcare.
Three roles, one treatment plan.
Collaborative care works because each role is clear. We help connect them so psychiatric expertise reaches patients in the primary care setting.
Primary care provider
Leads the patient’s overall care and makes treatment decisions informed by psychiatric recommendations.
Treating providerCare planBehavioral health care manager
Engages the patient, tracks progress with standardized assessment tools, and provides ongoing follow-up.
MeasurementFollow-upPsychiatric consultant
Reviews the caseload regularly and provides treatment recommendations to the primary care provider.
Case reviewRecommendationsMeasurement-based, from week one.
Every patient’s progress is tracked with standardized tools, so the team can see whether treatment is working and adjust when it is not.
In this example, symptom scores plateau over the first weeks. A psychiatric case review leads to a treatment adjustment, and scores fall steadily after that.
