N2  - The integration of psychological services in medical settings has numerous benefits  but a process for systematic integration and system wide evaluation is needed. A  process model was created and evaluated for integrating services in 32 outpatient  subspecialty clinics. Levels of satisfaction in caregivers (n = 98), physicians  (n = 27), and non-physicians (n = 45) were assessed. Most caregivers rated  psychology services at the highest level of satisfaction (85%) and would recommend  these services to others (100%). Teammates indicated that services should continue  in their clinic (85% non-physician; 96% physician) and have improved patient care  (71% non-physician; 81% physician). These findings demonstrate positive outcomes  associated with the process model and support its utility in integrating psychology  services across a health system.<p />  <p>Language: en</p>
