Abstract
Integration of behavioral health care into primary care can improve health and economic outcomes. This study adapted the
Behavioral Health Integration in Medical Care (BHIMC) index to the Colombian context and assessed the baseline level
of behavioral health integration in a sample of primary care organizations. The BHIMC was able to detect the capacity to
provide integrated behavioral care in Colombian settings. Results indicate a minimal to partial integration level across all
sites, and that it is possible to measure the degree of integrated care capacity and identify improvement areas for better
behavioral health care provision.
