TY - JOUR PY - 2018// TI - Using telehealth to implement cognitive-behavioral therapy JO - Psychiatric services A1 - Dent, Loren A1 - Peters, Aimee A1 - Kerr, Patrick L.

SP - 370 EP - 373 VL - 69 IS - 4 N2 - Behavioral health issues are common among patients with comorbid medical conditions but often go unrecognized or untreated, resulting in worse clinical outcomes and avoidable medical expenditures. This column describes an innovative telehealth solution that includes proactive and targeted patient identification and engagement and nationwide delivery of a technology-enabled, standardized, and evidence-based behavioral health program delivered via phone or video. A retrospective before-after evaluation of the program demonstrated national reach, high patient satisfaction, and significant reductions in symptoms of depression, anxiety, and stress.
