“…Patients receiving BH services in IPC clinics are more satisfied with their care as usual and have improved BH outcomes (Burt, Garbacz, Kupzyk, Frerichs, & Gathje, 2014), physicians report more satisfaction (Cooper et al, 2006), and families are able to access these BH services quickly and efficiently within the primary care provider’s office (Kelleher, Campo, & Gardner, 2006). Although rural IPC practices demonstrate increased up-front costs due to limited resources compared to urban primary care settings, there is potential for cost savings over time by reducing need for more intensive specialty BH services and preventing patients from utilizing the emergency room as a first line for BH care (Peterson, Turgesen, Fisk, & McCarthy, 2017).…”
