Children with mental health needs are currently not able to access adequate resources. This report from the field describes the ongoing implementation of an integrated behavioral health model in the state of Texas. The Child Psychiatry Access Network (CPAN) leverages primary care providers (PCPs) in the treatment and management of childhood psychiatric disorders. Data are reported as of November 2021 from consultations placed by PCPs over the preceding 17 months. During that time period, following consultation with the CPAN team, over 90% of PCPs were comfortable delivering the recommended mental health care directly to their patients. This suggests that CPAN is a feasible integrated behavioral health approach to address the shortage of child and adolescent psychiatrists.
目前，有心理健康需求的儿童无法获得足够的资源。本报告介绍了德克萨斯州正在实施的综合行为健康模式。儿童精神病学接入网络 (CPAN) 利用初级保健提供者 (PCP) 来治疗和管理儿童期精神疾病。数据截至 2021 年 11 月，来自于过去 17 个月内 PCP 提出的咨询。在此期间，在与 CPAN 团队咨询后，超过 90%的 PCP 对直接向患者提供推荐的心理健康护理感到满意。这表明 CPAN 是一种可行的综合行为健康方法，可以解决儿童和青少年精神科医生短缺的问题。
