J. Higgins AU - T. J. Lacy A1 - AB - The integration of mental health treatment with primary care is a U.S. Air Force priority. Unfortunately, manning shortages limit the utility of psychiatry in existing Air Force health care models. In this study, we present efficient and data-driven models for psychiatric involvement with primary care. These models include the use of psychiatrists as clinical consultants and primary care educators. Certain factors are required to implement these models including command support for locating psychiatrists within primary care, data-driven educational approaches, collaborative clinical care, and administrative support.
