Integrated Care: Connecting Medical and Behavioral care | TEDx by Tom Sebastian

Tom Sebastian, executive director of Compass Health in Everett, Wash., addresses the need for a whole health care approach by exploring the impact of an often fragmented behavioral health care system. By creating holistic behavior health care plans, health care providers in his community are seeing first-hand the positive impact of integrated behavior health care planning and treatment in individuals, families, and providers. This talk shares the benefits of treating a patient as a whole person for diagnosis, treatment, and follow-up care.
