With behavioral healthcare journeys constantly evolving, how can they be effectively navigated? A recent article from Going Digital: Behavioral Health Tech provides great insight into the data-driven, member-centric Evernorth Health Services approach. Douglas Nemecek and Melissa Reilly shed light on how a substantial portion of medical spending is driven by individuals with comorbidities, emphasizing the need to address both physical and behavioral health conditions together. Melissa Reilly highlights the need for early intervention: “There are silent sufferers who either go undiagnosed or their behavioral condition surfaces once with a medical provider, but their likelihood of engaging in behavioral treatment is low. These customer journeys highlight the importance of early identification through predictive modeling and collaboration with medical colleagues, so we don’t have to wait for people to ask for behavioral assistance, but use our data and relationships to meet them where they are.” Read the full interview here: https://lnkd.in/gx-z6bsA

Senior Executive Search Consultant and Physician Recruiter with industry-leading talent, consulting, and learning company.
As a full-desk healthcare recruiter, I'm encouraged by the Senate's advancement of legislation to improve access to behavioral health care. This legislation is a step in the right direction to addressing the growing mental health crisis in our country. By expanding access to care, we can help more people get the support they need to live healthy and productive lives. I'm particularly interested in the provisions to integrate behavioral health and primary care. This is an important step toward breaking down the silos that often exist between these two types of care. By integrating care, we can make it easier for people to get the comprehensive care they need.

Chief Medical Officer, CareAllies – a Cigna Company | Healthcare Executive | Focused on optimizing quality care delivery
Sometimes patients are the ones who provide us with care. Mistakes happen in any human endeavor and the practice of medicine is no exception. One of the most effective things we can do to address the physician burnout endemic in our society is to acknowledge that doctors are just that – human. Creating a culture where it is accepted that mistakes happen and that providers at times need help, whether it’s peer support or behavioral health counseling, is a great first step. #KevinMD - https://bit.ly/46XCAB0
