TEAM-care as usual approach
TECH-telehealth approach
Patients will be triaged based on their physical health (PH) and behavioral health (BH) complexity to determine the frequency of in-person visits and how much of these visits will be devoted to medical versus BH issues
Each patient will have an initial face-to-face visit with the core treatment team described above and undergo the same triage process to determine their PH/BH care needs. Each TECH patient will participate in one face-to-face treatment team visit per year unless more frequent visits are deemed to be medically necessary; however, all other interactions will be conducted via technology-supported modalities
