LifeSynch -- Innovators in Behavioral Health Care

Integrated Medical-Behavioral Health Care Management

Who will utilize less health care resources, experience better outcomes, experience more satisfaction with care, be more productive in the workplace ... a diabetic or a depressed diabetic?

Who will demonstrate better overall results ... a chronically diseased person that understands more about their disease state or a chronically diseased person with positively changed health care behavior?

The answers are obvious. Medical and behavioral health are inextricably linked in humans. More than ever, the American health care system needs to address this reality. Recognizing that behavioral health and health care behavior are the common denominator of all health issues - chronic diseases, acute medical situations, lifestyle choices - LifeSynch has introduced InnoPsych^sm, an industry-unique process approach to solve the integrated medical-behavioral health care management equation. Comprised of developed and yet-to-be created integrated solutions, InnoPsych provides the platform necessary to produce positive results for all parties involved in the health care transaction - the employer, the health plan, the disease management providers, the federal and state governments, and, most importantly, the people whose health and well-being are at stake.

Integrating medical and behavioral care management ... this is the LifeSynch vision.

Medical and behavioral health care have been artificially separated by the medical establishment historically, with the breach widened in the early 1980's by the introduction of the managed behavioral health care "carve-out". While effective at controlling direct behavioral health care costs, it is an approach that severs any meaningful integrated management of related medical and behavioral health issues. Additionally, the promise of today's disease management approaches is limited by a model that focuses on the disease process, rather than effectively promoting lasting health care behavior change of those experiencing chronic diseases.
