Intention to Use Behavioral Health Data From a Health Information Exchange: Mixed Methods Study.

Background

Patients with co-occurring behavioral health and chronic medical conditions frequently overuse inpatient hospital services. This pattern of overuse contributes to inefficient health care spending. These patients require coordinated care to achieve optimal health outcomes.

It is prudent to consider new approaches to sharing both general medical and behavioral health information.
